Elsey had an uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time. The parade of personages and events that he witnessed up close and is really mind-boggling. From FDR's map room to D-Day, to FDR's funeral, to Truman and containment and his stunning reelection in 1948, to Korea, to the waning days of LBJ's administration and Clark Clifford's artful efforts for extrication from Vietnam-- they are all there and more. It is a fascinating ride through some of the greatest doings of the mid-twentieth century. Hardcover, 264 pages.
