About This Item
From the Editors' Preface: "The aim of the American Presidency Series is to present historians and the general reading public with interesting, scholarly assessments of the various presidential administrations."
From the front dust jacket flap: "This new interpretation of the Eisenhower presidency challenges the widely held notion that Dwight D. Eisenhower was a passive, uninformed, uninterested chief executive, surrounded and isolated by a 'palace guard' who made the real decisions of his administration.Based on research in newly opened portions of Eisenhower's papers, this book presents a needed perspective on the policies and programs of the Eisenhower era by clarifying Eisenhower's personal role in policy-making. ...[his] philosophy about the uses of presidential power."
