An 'elegant,' 'incisive' and 'original' study of the lives and careers of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower who, despite their temperamental and biographical differences, held parallel views on the rise and exercise of American power, and were jointly instrumental in establishing and consolidating American supremacy in the postwar world. Both battled isolationism in their respective parties, and saw American power both in Wilsonian terms--as the global guarantor of human freedom -- and as the essential stabilizing force in the struggle against authoritarianism of the left and right. (The author, Philip Terzian, is literary editor of The Weekly Standard.)
