Presidents at War - How World War II Shaped a Generation of Presidents, from Eisenhower

Steven Gillon, World War II loomed over the twentieth century, transforming every level of American society and international relationships and searing itself onto the psyche of an entire generation, including that of seven American presidents: John F.
