Description: Ike's Spies by Stephen E. Ambrose Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Behind Ikes grandfatherly mask, the free worlds foremost spymaster Publisher Description This classic Cold War-era history looks at the way President Dwight Eisenhower managed Americas secret operations as general and as commander in chief and is based on privileged access to the president and his private papers—from bestselling historian Stephen E. Ambrose. During his time in office, Eisenhower projected the image of a genial bureaucrat, but behind that public face, he ran the most efficient espionage establishment in the world, overseeing assassination plots, the growth of the CIA, and the overthrow of governments. This book gives a behind-the-scenes look at some of the most ambitious secret operations in American history, including the 1954 overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz Guzmáns government of Guatemala; Operation AJAX, which toppled Irans Mossadegh; and the U-2 flights over Russia. Some of Ikes most conspicuous intelligence missteps are also discussed, including the failure to predict the German attack during the Battle of the Bulge and the tragic encouragement of freedom fighters in Hungary, Indonesia, and Cuba. Ikes Spies is indispensible to anyone interested in the development of Americas Cold War spy operations. Author Biography Stephen E.

Early in his career he was an associate editor of The Eisenhower Papers, and he later went on to publish the definitive, three-part biography of Eisenhower, as well as many bestselling books of military history, including Band of Brothers and Undaunted Courage.
