Tavern Talk and Tour Presents Richard Striner
October 13 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
$25
Join the Friends of the Rising Sun Inn as they celebrate the birthday of President and General Dwight D. Eisenhower on Sunday, October 13, 2024 when we welcome author Richard Striner with his book, “Ike in Love and War“.
President Eisenhower was born October 14, 1890. This new book sheds light on his personal conflicts and how he overcame them to achieve greatness. Behind the demeanor that made Dwight D. Eisenhower so popular was a cold-as-steel intelligence that kept his country prosperous and out of danger. Because his operating methods were so deeply hidden, it is only in the past few decades that historians have grasped the full extent of his achievements. “Ike in Love and War” shows the hidden sacrifices that made Eisenhower remarkable. It probes the mission that was driving him: the quest to reconcile his skill as a fighter with his mother’s pacifism, which led him to become the greatest peacekeeper of his age. It also probes his haunted quest for love. Perhaps his greatest sacrifice was leaving the woman who was probably the love of his life, thus making him one of the great tragic heroes in our history.
