Eisenhower: Soldier and President (1987) by Stephen E. Ambrose, in its Easton Press edition, is a lavishly bound biography of Dwight D. Eisenhower, chronicling his journey from Supreme Allied Commander in WWII to 34th U.S. President. Ambrose’s meticulous research and balanced prose reveal Ike’s strategic brilliance (D-Day, NATO) and political pragmatism (Civil Rights, Cold War brinkmanship), while humanizing him through private doubts and friendships (e.g., with Kay Summersby).
This Easton Press volume—clad in full genuine leather with 22-karat gold accents, moiré endpapers, and archival-quality paper—elevates the text into a collector’s heirloom. The edition may include portrait plates or battlefield maps, underscoring Eisenhower’s dual legacy as warrior and statesman.
A definitive tribute to an American icon, perfect for history buffs and bibliophiles alike.
