Reviews

"Matthew Holland has made a very useful contriubution to scholarship on Dwight D. Eisenhower....[H]ollan's account of the neglected period of Eisenhower in the inter-war years adds weight to the revisionist interpretaion....[t]he overall argument is persuasive. Holland's account makes plain that the president of the 1950s was not Ulysses Grant, a malleable military figurehead, but a leader with considerable political skills and solid accomplishments and experience which provided impressive credentials for his presidency."-Intelligence & National Security

?An interesting and often insightful look at the professional and social forces that helped shape Eisenhower as a soldier between the world wars....a useful read for anyone intersted in the development of the U.S. Army in the period, or the history of the ETO.?-The NYMAS Newsletter

?Eisenhower Between the Wars is a solid piece of revisionist work on an area of Eisenhower's life that has received too little attention: the interwar years...fills a long-term need in Eisenhower scholarship...Matthew Holland's book makes an important contribution to our understanding of Dwight Eisenhower. Future Eisenhower scholars will want to consult this book and consider its arguments carefully.?-The Journal of Military History
