Eisenhower (Great Generals)

This biography primarily focused on Eisenhower's war years, with a single brief chapter covering his post-WWII life; combined with a few chapters that discussed growing up in Abilene, the academy and his staff maturation...many years on the staff. It also focuses on his mentors with the effect they had on his life. MacArthur was one of them, but a good influence? Wukovits produced a readable narrative of Eisenhower's military life--does a good job relating the stresses that the man faced as he balanced political and military personalities (prima donnas). The audio version had about a dozen irritating repeats of a sentence or two--a little like the needle slipped on the vinyl. Overall, a readable and concise history.
