"David and Julie Nixon Eisenhower'sGoing Home to Gloryis a wonderfully satisfying book, at once touching and full of fascinating and previously unknown information about the last years of the General's life, in which his courage, his sense of humor, his sheer common sense about everything from cooking to atomic weapons makes one realize even more strongly just what a remarkable man he was, at war, at peace, and at home. David's portrait of his formidable grandfather manages to be at once charming and an important contribution to history: a lovely book."-Michael Korda, author ofIke: An American Hero, andHero: The Life and Legend of Lawrence of Arabia, "Gracefully written. . . .
