Dwight D. Eisenhower presided over an unusual era of peace and prosperity during the 1950s, a period also known as television's 'Golden Age.' In this first comprehensive study of Eisenhower's mass communication practices, Craig Allen maintains that Ike's tremendous popularity was partly a result of his skillful use of the new medium of television to broadcast his achievements to the American public.Review Quotes

"A pathbreaking work that makes a welcome addition to our understanding of Eisenhower and his innovative use of television. As a bonus, the book makes an important contribution to the history of television and politics." -- Stephen E. Ambrose, University of New Orleans
