The Religious Journey of Dwight D. Eisenhower

History & Biography

“In this engaging reinterpretation of a great American’s private experience and public career, Holl draws on a lifetime of learning to explore the centrality of Eisenhower’s religious journey to his rhetoric and policies as a Cold War president. As a result, Ike’s ‘middle way’ in politics resurfaces in a compelling new dimension. This is an indispensable addition to the Eisenhower literature.”
