Eisenhower Erased
Unmasking 15 Myths of the Military-Industrial MachineBy Miguel Thornton
Length4h 14m
About this audiobook
What if Dwight D. Eisenhower was never the passive old general history remembers?
Eisenhower Erased dismantles 15 of the most persistent myths surrounding the presidency of the Supreme Commander turned statesman — from “too soft on Cuba” to “a puppet of the Pentagon.” Drawing on declassified CIA memos, National Security Council minutes, and hidden archives, Miguel Thornton reveals a calculating strategist who understood — and quietly fought — the growing power of the military-industrial machine he warned about.
This book exposes the hidden engine of postwar America: fear, propaganda, and profit. Sharp, gripping, and deeply researched, Eisenhower Erased restores Ike as a master of restraint and foresight — the last president who truly tried to keep the machine in check.
