" The story of his first administration, told by the 34th President of the United States, here Dwight D. Eisenhower, one of the major figures of the twentieth century, writes an account of the events, as he saw them, leading up to a sweeping mandate, and then pursues the theme of change in the years 1953-1956. "

" " This book is a great national service.
Multitudes of Americans, irrespective of party, will count it a rare piece of good fortune that General Eisenhower, so soon after leaving the Presidency, should render such a candid and engaging account of his stewardship. " "

" " Writing with as much frankness as he put into his military memoirs, and more flexibility and vividness, Eisenhower adds new dimensions to our outstanding of his work and personality.
He does more than tell the story of his crowded White House years, with many revelations of fact- he paints a portrait of himself which is genial honesty and completeness is unmatched in Presidential literature.
To many it will reveal a new Eisenhower, more philosophical, decisive, and courageous than the President [presented] through the press, public papers, and recollections written by associates. " "

" " The whole range of governmental problems, and of Administration successes, partial victories, and failures 1953-1956, is treated here.
Yet the warmth and intimacy of the writing give its detail fascination.
Good stories, wry, humorous, or dramatic, constantly spill out of the pages.
Eisenhower tells not only what decisions he took, but what he thought in taking them and what he learned ...
Material quoted ranges from conversations with Khrushchev and Churchill to the uninhibited cables [from] Dulles; from talks with Robert Taft to extracts from the diary the President intermittently kept. " "
