Jeffrey Frank
Jeffrey Frank was a senior editor at The New Yorker and the deputy editor of The Washington Post’s Outlook section and is the author of the bestseller Ike and Dick. He has published four novels, among them the Washington Trilogy—The Columnist, Bad Publicity and Trudy Hopedale. He is a contributor to The New Yorker and has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Bookforum and Vogue, among other publications.
For nearly twenty years, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon shared a political and private association that deeply affected both men and their turbulent era. In a work of “compelling can’t-put-it-down history” (Joe Klein, TIME columnist) filled with “marvelously cringe-inducing anecdotes” (The Wall Street Journal), Frank reveals sides of the two that you’ve never seen. He offers fresh views of the striving, uneasy young Nixon and of Eisenhower, the legendary commander in failing health, far more comfortable with international affairs than with problems besetting the United States. Behind the scenes and beyond the headlines, Ike and Dick, informed by deep archival research and dozens of interviews, provides a captivating look at the presidency and the nation.
“Ike and Dick is a highly engrossing political narrative that skillfully takes the reader through the twisted development of a strange relationship that would help shape America’s foreign and domestic agenda for much of the 20th century.” —Joe Scarborough for The New York Times
