Bland
March 07, 2010

Wicker spills quite a bit ink on Warren and civil rights and then engages in "what if's"--the latter a true historian's no-no. He could have done more research--especially on Ike's and Nixon's disagreements, among other aspects--to fill out this too-spare account. Wicker writes like the beat reporter he was, not the pseudo-historian he'd like to be.

boring and prediticable
February 11, 2008

have to agree with other review, the authors views, complete disdain for the military came through first and foremost. He wanted to find fault with this President, could not so vented. The superficial skills of a hack came through, contrary to new insights about the subject.a complete waste of time.

Typical Liberal Bias
May 23, 2006

This book is awful. Mr. Wicker's liberal bias shows on almost every single page. Why did he even bother writing this book? The facts are that President Eisenhower was a 'Near Great' to 'Great' President, especially when you consider the two mediocre and dangerous administrations that followed. If you want a fair analysis of President Eisenhower's time as President, you would be better off looking elsewhere. Also, I guess using the 101st Airborne at Little Rock and the Warren Court meant he was "silent" on civil rights?
