What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

Should be read by all who study the history of the presidency and television.—American Historical Review



A pathbreaking work that makes a welcome addition to our understanding of Eisenhower and his innovative use of television. As a bonus, the book makes an important contribution to the history of television and politics.—Stephen E. Ambrose, University of New Orleans

Editorial Reviews

Not John F. Kennedy but Eisenhower should be seen as the "first TV president," asserts Craig (journalism & telecommunication, Arizona State U.). He chronicles how Ike wasted no time in figuring out how to use the medium to define and broadcast his achievements. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
