can enhance their own leadership. While there are many books about Eisenhower, this book is unique in presenting leadership insights from his military and political careers, rather than just one or the other. Another difference is that some of the material presented has just recently become available, such as Eisenhower’s role in promoting the development of spy satellites and new perspectives into his role in promoting civil rights.

His entire life is a case study in how to be a successful leader, in business, politics or any endeavor.“Brian Clark’s book distills Eisenhower’s wisdom into easy-to-applylessons and principles. No matter what the management challenge,Ike probably encountered it somewhere “from West Point to theWhite House.” Meticulously researched, Clark’s book is a great “howto” manual for managers of all levels of experience.”- Linda S.
