Books: “Three Days In January: Dwight Eisenhower’s final mission” by Bret Baier
Posted By RichC on March 29, 2023
My daily routine, at least when I’m in town, is to DVR the evening news, “Special Report” at 6PM. I generally watch it and skip the commercials while eating … when it is permitted by Brenda. HA! The daily new wrap-up is probably not edifying 
since it includes a good dose of disfunctional national politics and mostly bad news in our country. BUT … I still watch and enjoy Bret Baier’s professionism and journalistic integrity. Most of his guests do favor my political leanings, but he does include a few with opposing views (slanted to the right is expected as the program is on FoxNews).
Each night I look forward to several of the segments, including his “common ground” segment and of course the last 15 minutes with the panel (although miss Charles Krauthammer – I guarantee that I am not alone).
That aside, Bret showcased the cover of a new book, “To Rescue the Constitution,” coming out in October 
on Monday night’s program, which got me thinking, “I haven’t read his previous books?” So … on Monday evening I decided to download and start reading “Three Days in January: Dwight Eisenhower’s Final Mission.” It immediately grabbed my attention as I continued to read until bedtime. I’m only good for an hour or so of reading in the evening. It is well written and covers a bit of biographical military history that I enjoy and am familiar with — World War II. What I’m finding interesting is just how much of Ike’s background I didn’t know and how little attention I gave his presidency consider he was a well-liked two term president who had to deal with the Soviet Union building up their military and nuclear capability. Those of a certain age can clearly remember the cold war and fear of a nuclear holocaust.
Very unusual looking to say the least?
