Dwight Eisenhower: Washington
built 622 days ago
Eisenhower brought to the presidency both the assets and limitations of a military background: a talent for administrative efficiency qualified by a deficient background in national problems outside the sphere of foreign relations. He established a chain of command, delegated broad responsibility to subordinates, and freed himself to grapple with the larger issues. He ... attempted to learn about race relations, economic questions, and the intricacies of partisan politics. Although his knowledge grew steadily in all three areas, it seldom prompted him to vigorous action. He sought consensus above all else, and shunned bold, controversial programs. This tendency was reinforced by his belief that many problems would be better solved at the local level than through initiatives from Washington.

As experts on Dwight Eisenhower, his era, and his administration, historians Ambrose and Immerman were familiar with the role Milton Eisenhower played as an adviser to his brother. Here, these historians cooperate to produce a biography of Milton Eisenhower. Enhanced by the opportunity to work extensively with their subject, their research resulted in a fine record of Milton's life and achievements. Of greatest interest to this centennial bibliography are the accounts of Milton's close relationship with Ike. The description of how Milton advanced and supported Ike's military career in the 1930s and early 1940s is fascinating. In the 1930s, Milton was in the middle of his career in civil service and was the wellknown Eisenhower in Washington.
