In Review: Pictures I've Kept: A Concise Pictorial "Autobiography"

237 pp. "These are his own words—recalling memories of a long-ago boyhood when a strapping youngster learned how to be a man…of a distinguished military career which could have more than filled lifetimes…and of the White House years, when a national hero became our President, to lead us in peacetime as he had helped to lead us in war. Dwight David Eisenhower edited these portions of his four previous books to reflect, in one volume, the life that he himself remembered. A number of photographs are shown here for the first time outside of the Eisenhower family album. Together, the General’s words and their accompanying photographs provide a self-portrait or sketch whose dignity and fidelity can never be surpassed."
