“Think of these things he wrote about: ``Eisenhower and the German POWs: Facts Against Falsehood''; ``Nixon: The Ruin and Recovery of a Politician''; ``Eisenhower: Soldier and President''; ``Nixon: The Triumph of a Politician''; ``Nixon: The Education of a Politician''; ``Pegasus Bridge''; ``Eisenhower: The President''; ``Eisenhower: Soldier, General of the Army, President-Elect''; ``Milton Eisenhower''; ``Ike's Spies: Eisenhower and the Espionage Establishment''; ``Crazy Horse and Custer: The Parallel Lives of Two American Warriors''; ``General Ike: Abilene to Berlin''; ``The Military in American Society''; ``The Supreme Commander: The War Years of General Dwight D. Eisenhower''; and ``The Papers of Dwight D. Eisenhower.'' He wrote on Eisenhower in Berlin. Before he even got to the Eisenhower books he wrote ``Duty, Honor, Country: A History of West Point.'' He also had a series of books about Lincoln, ``Halleck, Lincoln's Chief of Staff,'' the one he personally gave me, his own ``Wisconsin Boy in Dixie.'' For those of us who are in the Senate, I hope they have read one of the last books he wrote, and that is ``The Wild Blue,'' which is really the story of George McGovern and the B-24 squadron in World War II. I think that reads better than any of the Ambrose books, particularly because those of us who knew George could understand him even more as a Senator once we realized what he went through as a bomber pilot.”
