After President Dwight D. Eisenhower left office in 1961, he retired to a farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Living next door was his teenage grandson, David; they would be neighbors for the rest of the decade. Based on personal stories, letters, diaries, and the reminiscences of Eisenhower’s closest friends, Going Home to Glory is both an intimate chronicle of the elder statesman’s final years and a coming of age story.
In this book, Eisenhower emerges as both a beloved and forbidding figure, whether relaxing at home or playing golf, advising presidents Kennedy and Johnson and 1968 presidential hopeful Richard Nixon, or rendering sage advice to young people - including the author. Set amidst the turbulent 60s, the author describes Eisenhower's many efforts to influence a bewildered nation on civil rights and Vietnam.
David Eisenhower's first book about his grandfather, Eisenhower at War, was a best seller and a finalist for the 1987 Pulitzer Prize in History. Going Home to Glory, a personal sequel, offers completely new insight into one of the country's most respected presidents.

Where does Going Home to Glory rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Can't compare to other books, but it was very enjoyable. I learned a lot, too. I listened with my 92 year old mother, on a road trip after visiting the Eisenhower Boyhood Home and Library in Abilene; she was very attentive to the story, having lived through it! Obviously David Eisenhower had a special insight into the world of his grandfather, and it was told very well, with interesting historical context and insights. I was interested in the post White House years and specifically in the California years, writing his memoirs, and otherwise mostly golfing and writing at Eldorado Country Club in California. His circle of friends was intriguing.Would you listen to another book narrated by Arthur Morey?
The narration was annoying in many ways. #1, the pronunciation of "Grand-dad" (instead of just saying "grandad"), and #2 the pronunciation of Roosevelt as ROOOOSevelt, when everyone else normally just pronounces it with a "long o." There were several other mispronunciations in the reading. The general reading style was rather pedantic. I'm not a fan.Overall, well written, some annoying pronunciation
