Destroying
the Village: Eisenhower and Thermonuclear War
by Campbell Craig
Thanks to recently declassified government documents from the early
Cold War era, Craig is able to investigate what America's strategists really
thought about the viability of nuclear warfare. He demonstrates that even
as they were publicly attempting to make nuclear war technically feasible,
many Pentagon officials were privately pessimistic regarding any nuclear
strategy. Craig probes the heated arguments Eisenhower had with his national
security advisors, and shows how the president conspired to make the option
of war with the Soviet Union impossible.

Eisenhower:
A Soldier's Life
by Carlo D'Este
There is hardly a shortage of books about Dwight Eisenhower, but Carlo
D'Este's Eisenhower: A Soldier's Life stands tall in this forest by virtue
of the author's insistence on a too-often forgotten rule of biographers:
show--don't tell about--the subject. Though D'Este doesn't neglect Eisenhower's
early years (his sketch of the man's rambunctious West Point years is hearteningly
entertaining), the book concentrates on his military career, including
his years of treading water in the Philippines. By far the most trenchant
sections, however, deal with World War II (including a keen look at the
little-discussed North African campaign.) We see Ike, who had a famous
temper and, when angry, a most indelicate vocabulary, chain-smoking cigarettes
and unable to sleep in the weeks leading to D-day; refusing--out of disgust
for German atrocities--to be present at the signing of the articles of
surrender; bantering, though his heart was heavy, with enlisted men; wrestling
contentiously with MacArthur and Field Marshall Montgomery. We read excerpts
of his letters to Mamie and are privy to, perhaps, his laying the groundwork
for a political career. A Soldier's Life, long but brisk, sympathetic but
not adoring, rigorous but never tedious, is a commendable biography. --H.

Eisenhower
: Soldier and President
by Stephen E. Ambrose
Stephen E. Ambrose draws upon extensive sources, an unprecedented degree
of scholarship, and numerous interviews with Eisenhower himself to offer
the fullest, richest, most objective rendering yet of the soldier who became
president. He gives us a masterly account of the European war theater and
Eisenhower's magnificent leadership as Allied Supreme Commander. Ambrose's
recounting of Eisenhower's presidency, the first of the Cold War, brings
to life a man and a country struggling with issues as diverse as civil
rights, atomic weapons, communism, and a new global role. Amazon.com
