Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lessons of World War II, more than party affiliation or ideology, defined the presidencies of these seven men. They returned home determined to confront any force that threatened to undermine the war’s hard-won ideals, each with their own unique understanding of patriotism, sacrifice, and America’s role in global politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePresidents at War\u003c\/i\u003e, Gillon examines what these men took away from the war and how they then applied it to Cold War policies that proceeded to change America, and the world, forever. A nuanced and deeply researched exploration of the lives, philosophies, and legacies of seven remarkable men, \u003ci\u003ePresidents at War\u003c\/i\u003e deftly argues that the lessons learned by these postwar presidents continue to shape the landscape upon which current and future presidents stand today.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49480260256048,"sku":"BDj6n7","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/667207-j6n7-Square.jpg?v=1737639977","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-j6n7","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
