Overview
This most recent volume in the highly regarded Dear Mr. President series features fictional letters between president Dwight D. Eisenhower and a child living during his administration. President Eisenhower upholds his presidential campaign promise to end the Korean War, but the country continues to wage another battle at home and abroad the Cold War against Communism. Annie Bullock, a 13-year-old farm girl from New Jersey, tells the president how Communist paranoia has affected her life as the two discuss the threat of Soviet nuclear weapons, the McCarthy hearings, and the Rosenberg trial. Eisenhower addresses Annies concerns, both personal and political, and encourages her to arm herself with the best defense possible knowledge and the courage to speak her own mind. Like each book in the series, this is based on primary historical materials and offers a biography of the president and ample illustrations and timelines. The Dear Mr. President books focus on important moments in U.S. history ...carefully researched and supported with website connections. The Reading Teacher
