Review:

“Gracefully written. . . . A warm personal recollection and a cogent summary of Eisenhower’s place in the American political spectrum.”
—Wendy Smith, Los Angeles Times

“Some books are written from the head; others, from the heart. Going Home to Glory, which David Eisenhower composed with ample assistance from his wife, Julie, is both, though it tilts pleasingly toward the latter."

—Art Carey, Philadelphia Inquirer
