Three Days in January: Dwight Eisenhower's Final Mission (Three Days Series)

The blockbuster #1 national bestseller Bret Baier, the Chief Political Anchor for Fox News Channel and the Anchor and Executive Editor of Special Report with Bret Baier, illuminates the extraordinary yet underappreciated presidency of Dwight Eisenhower by taking readers into Ike’s last days in power. "Magnificently rendered.

… Destined to take its place as not only one of the masterworks on Eisenhower, but as one of the classics of presidential history.

… Impeccably researched, the book is nothing short of extraordinary.

What a triumph!" —JAY WINIK, New York Times bestselling author of April 1865 and 1944 In Three Days in January, Bret Baier masterfully casts the period between Eisenhower’s now-prophetic farewell address on the evening of January 17, 1961, and Kennedy’s inauguration on the afternoon of January 20 as the closing act of one of modern America’s greatest leaders — during which Eisenhower urgently sought to prepare both the country and the next president for the challenges ahead. Those three days in January 1961, Baier shows, were the culmination of a lifetime of service that took Ike from rural Kansas to West Point, to the battlefields of World War II, and finally to the Oval Office.

When he left the White House, Dwight Eisenhower had done more than perhaps any other modern American to set the nation, in his words, "On our charted course toward permanent peace and human betterment."
