Three Days in January: Young Readers’ Edition: Dwight Eisenhower's Final Mission
Autor Bret Baier, Catherine Whitneyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 dec 2019 – vârsta până la 12 ani
In the young readers’ edition of his New York Times bestselling book, Fox News anchor Bret Baier examines the historic transition and Eisenhower’s last chance to lead the country he loved through his legendary farewell address and his personal appeals to Kennedy.
Baier paints a vivid picture of the contrasts between old and new at the beginning of a decisive decade in American history. Eisenhower and Kennedy were very different men. Eisenhower, at seventy, was an elder statesman, a five-star Army general during WWII, and one of the most popular Republican presidents of the past century. Kennedy, a forty-three-year-old Democrat, had captured the nation’s attention with his energy and youth, but was inexperienced.
Eisenhower believed he had hard-won knowledge to pass on to his successor, but he didn’t know if Kennedy would listen. It was Eisenhower’s final mission as president to leave the new president, and the country, with the lessons he had learned and guidance for a direction forward.
Meticulously researched, broad in scope, and full of timely insights—as well as historic photographs—this edition will enable young readers to experience a piece of “living history” and will inspire a deeper understanding of the pivotal moments that forged the next seventy-five years.

January 1961: President Eisenhower has three days to secure the nation’s future before his young successor, John F. Kennedy, takes power—a final mission by the legendary leader who planned D-Day and guided America through the darkening Cold War
In this acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Bret Baier illuminates the extraordinary yet underappreciated presidency of Dwight Eisenhower by taking readers into Ike’s last days in power. Baier masterfully casts the period between Eisenhower’s now-prophetic farewell address on the evening of January 17, 1961, and Kennedy’s inauguration on the afternoon of January 20 as the closing act of one of modern America’s greatest leaders—during which Eisenhower urgently sought to prepare both the country and the next president for the challenges ahead.
Three Days in January equally reveals how Eisenhower’s two terms set America on a course of unprecedented prosperity while also saving the nation from destruction in the escalating Cold War with the Soviet Union. Five decades after Ike left office, Baier makes clear that Eisenhower still offers vital lessons for our own time and stands as a lasting model of political leadership.
