They dated against the wishes of her father, who did not want his daughter to marry a soldier. On July 1, 1916, they were married. They had two sons: Doud Dwight, who died in childhood, and John.

In this volume is the text of a television interview between Eisenhower and Alistair Cooke, a transplanted Englishman who made weekly broadcasts to Britain called "A Letter From America." The text is expanded and embellished by numerous photographs and other material. Cooke spent three days with Eisenhower at his Gettysburg farm discussing various topics ranging from his childhood, to golf, to the code of a soldier.
