Excellent contribution to history

Milton Eisenhower does a fantastic job in sharing his insights into several political situations he was involved in as several presidents, including his brother, Dwight, call upon him to assist in these situations. It is obvious that he and Dwight had a close relationship. Milton shares insights that heretofore were not known, certainly not known to me as an avid student of both history at the beginning and political science at the end of my college years. One chapter is dedicated to the Eisenhower family; that is, his parents, his five brothers, and himself. The other chapters all deal with political episodes and, as such, give the reader some valuable insights into what recent U. S. presidents have had to deal with. The book is very well-written and holds the reader's attention from the beginning to the end.
