It was Eisenhower's final mission as president to leave the new president, and the country, with the lessons he had learned and guidance for a direction forward.Meticulously researched, broad in scope, and full of timely insights?as well as historic photographs?this edition will enable young readers to experience a piece of ?living history? and will inspire a deeper understanding of the pivotal moments that forged the next seventy-five years.
