Eisenhower

I was born in 1954 so I have no memory of Eisenhowers Presidency.
I learned a lot about this period from this book.
I read a book about the building of the interstate highway system and it said Ike wasn't very interested in it.
But this book says he thought it was an important part of his legacy.
This book also shows the Eisenhower wasn't much interested in civil rights.
He sent regular troops into Little Rock, not so much to protect the kids but to demonstrate that Federal laws superseded States rules.

Well worth reading, especially if you don't have much knowledge about this time period.
