Evan Thomas. The beatification of President Dwight Eisenhower continues in this keen
character study. Often viewed as trustworthy but bland, Eisenhower
didn't let on what was really roiling behind the comforting exterior, as
Thomas effectively argues in
this chronological look at his presidency. Thomas ably demonstrates how operating through
indirection became Ike's effective peacekeeping strategy. An astute,
thoroughly engaging portrayal.--KirkusThursday, December 27, 2012
