Ike's Final Battle was published just in time for the 50th anniversary of Little Rock, an event that Pipes says "changed the nation." His book shines new light on the critical, but often overlooked, role Eisenhower played in fighting racial discrimination in America.
"I thought there was a unique story that had never really been told before," he says about the decision to write his book. "Here was the greatest American of his time. Why not showcase him facing the greatest American dilemma of all time? Why not use the civil rights revolution as a window into his soul? Did he do the right thing? How did he view African-Americans? Was he slow to act? If so, why?"
Pipes is president of The Pipes Company, a corporate consultant firm. Before forming his own company, he was a speech writer for President George W. Bush and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He also was the chief author of the 2004 Republican National platform.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
