Eisenhower five years and six months ago, I was mainly interested in his presidency. He had, most people said with almost no effort, kept the United States at peace and prosperous for eight years. . . . .What had happened to this president before he was inaugurated was not of much interest to me. A chapter at most would handle it. . . . But as I worked, I discovered that Eisenhower - the man - before he became president was a story that has never been told. There have been over 100 full-length books about Dwight D. Eisenhower. . . . But none of the books seemed to consider what kind of man he was and how he got that way, which is what this book attempts to do. . . .""
