After his final presidential speech in 1961, Eisenhower's image gradually changed from that of a strictly military man to one of a man who understood both war and politics and worked against the dangers of misplaced power. Nowhere was this transformation clearer that in his personal diaries which he began in 1935. Hundreds of entries , many of them extremely frank, provide constant commentaries on the general-president as he moves through World War II and on to Washington. Near Fine / very good. Item #E36591
