Specificatii
The blockbuster #1 national bestseller, now updated with a new
preface and postcript: Bret Baier, the Chief Political Anchor for
Fox News Channel and the Anchor and Executive Editor of Special
Report with Bret Baier, illuminates the extraordinary yet
underappreciated presidency of Dwight Eisenhower by taking readers
into Ike's last days in power.In Three Days in January, Bret Baier
masterfully casts the period between Eisenhower's now-prophetic
farewell address on the evening of January 17, 1961, and Kennedy's
inauguration on the afternoon of January 20 as the closing act of
one of modern America's greatest leaders--during which Eisenhower
urgently sought to prepare both the country and the next president
for the challenges ahead.Those three days in January 1961, Baier
shows, were the culmination of a lifetime of service that took Ike
from rural Kansas to West Point, to the battlefields of World War
II, and finally to the Oval Office. When he left the White House,
Dwight Eisenhower had done more than perhaps any other modern
American to set the nation, in his words, on our charted course
toward permanent peace and human betterment.On January 17,
Eisenhower spoke to the nation in one of the most remarkable
farewell speeches in U.S. history. Ike looked to the future,
warning Americans against the dangers of elevating partisanship
above national interest, excessive government budgets (particularly
deficit spending), the expansion of the military-industrial
complex, and the creeping political power of special interests.
Seeking to ready a new generation for power, Eisenhower intensely
advised the forty-three-year-old Kennedy before the inauguration.
Baier also reveals how Eisenhower's two terms changed America
forever for the better, and demonstrates how today Ike offers us
the model of principled leadership that polls say is so missing in
politics. Three Days in January forever makes clear that
Eisenhower, an often forgotten giant of U.S. history, still offers
vital lessons for our own time and stands as a lasting example of
political leadership at its most effective and honorable.
