Reviews
"David and Julie Nixon Eisenhower'sGoing Home to Gloryis a wonderfully satisfying book, at once touching and full of fascinating and previously unknown information about the last years of the General's life, in which his courage, his sense of humor, his sheer common sense about everything from cooking to atomic weapons makes one realize even more strongly just what a remarkable man he was, at war, at peace, and at home. David's portrait of his formidable grandfather manages to be at once charming and an important contribution to history: a lovely book."-Michael Korda, author ofIke: An American Hero, andHero: The Life and Legend of Lawrence of Arabia, "Gracefully written. . . . A warm personal recollection and a cogent summary of Eisenhower's place in the American political spectrum." -Wendy Smith, Los Angeles Times, Some books are written from the head; others, from the heart. Going Home to Glory , which David Eisenhower composed with ample assistance from his wife, Julie, is both, though it tilts pleasingly toward the latter." -Art Carey, Philadelphia Inquirer, "What a joy it was to read Going Home to Glory ! Every page is a revelation. David Eisenhower reminds readers that Ike stood for heartland integrity. For the first time we learn how the ex-president weathered the tumultuous 1960s.

Synopsis
When President Dwight Eisenhower left Washington, D.C., at the end of his second term, he retired to a farm in historic Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, that he had bought a decade earlier. Living on the farm with the former president and his wife, Mamie, were his son, daughter-in-law, and four grandchildren, the oldest of whom, David, was just entering his teens. In this engaging and fascinating memoir, David Eisenhower; whose previous book about his grandfather ,Eisenhower at War, 1945,was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; provides a uniquely intimate account of the final years of the former president and general, one of the giants of the twentieth century.InGoing Home to Glory,Dwight Eisenhower emerges as both a beloved and forbidding figure. He was eager to advise, instruct, and assist his young grandson, but as a general of the army and president, he held to the highest imaginable standards. At the same time, Eisenhower was trying to define a new political role for himself. Ostensibly the leader of the Republican party, he was prepared to counsel his successor, John F. Kennedy, who sought instead to break with Eisenhower's policies. (In contrast, Kennedy's successor, Lyndon Johnson, would eagerly seek Eisenhower's advice.) As the tumultuous 1960s dawned, with assassinations, riots, and the deeply divisive war in Vietnam, plus a Republican nominee for president in 1964 whom Eisenhower considered unqualified, the former president tried to chart the correct course for himself, his party, and the country. Meanwhile, the past continued to pull on him as he wrote his memoirs, and publishers and broadcasters asked him to reminisce about his wartime experiences.When his grandfather took him on a post-presidential tour of Europe, David saw firsthand the esteem with which monarchs, prime ministers, and the people of Europe held the wartime hero. Then as later, David was under the watchful eye of a grandfather who had little understanding of or patience with the emerging rock n roll generation. But even as David went off to boarding school and college, grandfather and grandson remained close, visiting and corresponding frequently. David and Julie Nixon's romance brought the two families together, and Eisenhower strongly endorsed his former vice-president's successful run for the presidency in 1968.With a grandson's love and devotion but with a historian's candor and insight, David Eisenhower has written a remarkable book about the final years of a great American whose stature continues to grow., David Eisenhower delivers a warm, personal recollection of the retirement years of his grandfather, Dwight D. Eisenhower, in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where they lived.
