A Matter of Justice by David A. Nichols
Book #1 of 2015. It was informative and well written, but I do feel that at times Nichols struggled to rationalize *some* of Ike's caution. But kudos to him for highlighting the role Eisenhower played overall in the Civil Rights movement - sending federal troops into a Southern State to enforce school integration? It's almost impossible, in the here and now, to realize how shocking and bold that choice was for the 1950's.
