At the end of his second term in 1961, President Dwight Eisenhower retired to his farm outside of Gettysburg, PA, and redefined his political role. In Going Home to Glory, grandson David Eisenhower and his wife Julie Nixon Eisenhower look at Ike’s efforts to direct a course for his party and the country as he worked with and advised his successors John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson during the turbulent 1960s. Based on personal stories, letters, diaries, and the reminiscences of close friends, Going Home to Glory is an intimate chronicle of Eisenhower’s final years. Presidential historian Michael Beschloss joins the Eisenhowers to discuss their book. A book signing will follow the program.
