Further Reading and Research

The story of this productive partnership between and Dwight D. Eisenhower has yet to be written. Glimpses of their mutual admi- ration and occasional frustration between these presidents can be found in a handful of historical studies and biographies most written since their deaths. It is encouraging to note that the best studies of the partnership can be found in recent publications as scholars begin to study seriously the role of former presidents in American public life. Below is a selection of publications that speak to the topic in general and to the Hoover-Eisenhower relationship in particular.
