• "At Ease: Stories I Tell to Friends" by Dwight D. Eisenhower

This book has not been acquired yet. It may be 2026 before it is acquired and reviewed ... tune back in then.

At Ease: Stories I Tell to Friends

One review noted the following of Eisenhower's "At Ease: Stories I Tell to My Friends:"

It is a happy circumstance that his newest book, "At Ease: Stories I Tell to Friends," has come along. ​There always has been, apparently, a third variant of Ike, familiar only to his intimates, in which he is a warm, genial, guard-down extrovert at ease with himself and the world, full of good yarns, crackling humor and sentimental memories.

​In one sense this is a volume of reminiscent footnotes that illuminate and give depth and color to many of the larger events in the general's quite extraordinary career.

The New York Times, 1967
