Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Atlass of Turning Points in Ike's COmmand. Dwight D. Eisenhower had two careers: before he was one of America's most popular presidents he was its greatest military commander. His military career lasted much longer and according to John it was far more important to him personally. Nobody is in a better position to tell the story of General Ike than John who was by his side for much of it and who rose to the rank of Brigadier General before retiring to write seminal and bestselling works of military history. GENERAL IKE is a definitive revealing and brilliantly crafted study of the right stuff of leadership. Great leaders bring out the best in the people around them and Ike was no exception. Drawing on scenes witnessed by few others and comments given him in private by his father John Eisenhower shows how his father's keen mind great sense of the strengths of others and perseverance in the face of all duties combined to bring America to victory. From Wikipedia: "John Sheldon Doud Eisenhower born August 3 1922 is the son of President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his wife Mamie. He is a retired United States Army Brigadier General and the author of several books of military history. He served as the U.S. Ambassador to Belgium from 1969 to 1971. John Eisenhower was born on August 3 1922 in Denver Denver County Colorado to future U.S. President and United States Army General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower and his wife Mamie. John Eisenhower was the second child of Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower. Their first son Doud Dwight known affectionately as "Icky" died in 1921 at age 3 after contracting scarlet fever. John Eisenhower like his father attended the United States Military Academy graduating on June 6 1944 the day of the Normandy landings which his father was commanding. John Eisenhower served in the U.S. Army during World War II and the Korean War remaining on active duty until 1963; then serving in the U.S. Army Reserve until retirement in 1975 attaining the rank of brigadier general. A decorated soldier Eisenhower found his World War II military career thwarted by fears for his safety and concern from the top brass that his death or capture would be a distraction to his father the Supreme Allied Commander. This issue arose again in 1952 when Major Eisenhower was assigned to fight in a combat unit in Korea while his father ran for President. After a short stint in combat with an infantry battalion he was reassigned to the safety of division headquarters. In 2008 he wrote about this experience in an opinion piece in the New York Times entitled "Presidential Children Don t Belong in Battle". During his father's presidency John Eisenhower served as Assistant Staff Secretary in the White House on the Army's General Staff and in the White House as assistant to General Andrew Goodpaster. In the administration of President Richard Nixon who had been his father's Vice President he served as U.S. Ambassador to Belgium. In 1972 President Nixon appointed Eisenhower Chairman of the Interagency Classification Review Committee. In 1975 he served President Gerald Ford as chairman of the President's Advisory Committee on Refugees. As a military historian Eisenhower has written several of his books including The Bitter Woods a study of the Battle of the Bulge. In a New York Times review of So Far from God a history of the U.S. -Mexican War Stephen W. Sears remarked that Eisenhower "writes briskly and authoritatively and his judgments are worth reading." John Eisenhower wrote the foreword to Borrowed Soldiers a book by Mitchell Yockelson of the U.S. National Archives. Eisenhower also wrote the forward to Kenneth W. Rendell's book "Politics War and Personality: 50 Iconic Documents of World War II." The city of Marshfield Missouri chose Eisenhower as a 2008 honoree of the Edwin P. Hubble Medal of Initiative. His grandson Merrill Eisenhower Atwater spoke on his behalf at Marshfield's annual Cherry Blossom Festival. The medal recognizes. Free Press hardcover
