About the Book

The first volume of a Biographical Novel series based on Dwight Eisenhower!

"Zucker's achievement is monumental. In a fast-paced narrative, he captures Dwight D. Eisenhower with mastery and precision-his thoughts, emotions, decisions, and actions. The smooth prose and rich detail put the reader right there with Ike at every step of his military career and presidency, with an accurate and compelling rendering. This is historical fiction at its best."
-Yanek Mieczkowski, presidential historian and author of Eisenhower's Sputnik Moment: The Race for Space and World Prestige

In 1938, he was an unknown lieutenant colonel stationed in the Philippines. By 1945, the world proclaimed him its savior. In the years in between, he led the forces of liberal democracy against history's most wicked tyranny.

In this composite novel - the first of three volumes - readers will experience Dwight Eisenhower's World War II as never before. Eisenhower comes to life - a living, breathing, passionate man - determined to fulfill his duty as he argues for and executes the strategy to save the world from the ultimate villain, Adolf Hitler.

An excerpt:

November 10, 1938
Lieutenant Colonel Dwight Eisenhower's focus was locked on the ball. His left eye shut; his right narrowed, calculating the distance between the ball and the hole. His large hands gripped the club as he pulled back. He swung forward but struck the ball with restraint.

Ike miscalculated. He had not applied enough force, and the ball, after an initial burst, stopped short. His face briefly flashed scarlet red. Swear words were on the tip of his tongue but Ike restrained himself in front of his golf partner, Marion Huff. He was not comfortable swearing in front of women and fought to control his temper before he embarrassed himself.

Marion teased, "Now you're intentionally slowing us down. I think you want Sidney and I to be late." She leaned on her club as the Sun warmed her under her light beige outfit.

"Of course not," Ike muttered. He gripped his club even tighter as he walked to the ball and repeated his process. He shut one eye, stuck his rear out, and calculated how much force was necessary to sink the ball. This time it worked. The ball, once struck, followed Ike's command and tumbled into the hole, vanishing from sight.

"Yes!" Ike's attitude changed on a dime. His face brightened with his sig-nature smile. His chest jutted out and arms pumped.

"Golfing brings out a whole other side to you. You're usually a gentle-man," Marion complained as Ike retrieved the ball.
"I can't help it. Sports seize my attention like little else," Ike said as he corrected his posture, careful of his back. "If only I was as skilled as I am enthusi-astic."

"You're plenty skilled. But I really do have to get back. We can't be late for the President." Her hand jerked as she considered patting Ike on the back before remembering how he hated being touched.

Sweat developed on Ike's shaved head. He walked to her left, letting Marion be in the shade to escape the Manila sun. They moved through the town of middle class, Bahay na bato stone houses that reflected native, Spanish, and Chinese influences as they made their way toward the modest homes the Filipino government gave them as officers on General MacArthur's staff.
