Eisenhower in War and Peace
by Jean Edward SmithI'm not super into biographies, but I really wanted to read about great leaders, and heard good things about this book. I enjoyed learning out Eisenhower, but when it got into his presidency it started to drag for me. I finished it and am glad I read it, but decided that I'm just not that into biographies.
