Three Days in January Book Reviews
Three Days in January by Bret Baier & Catherine Whitney Book Summary
The blockbuster #1 national bestseller
Bret Baier, the Chief Political Anchor for Fox News Channel and the Anchor and Executive Editor of Special Report with Bret Baier, illuminates the extraordinary yet underappreciated presidency of Dwight Eisenhower by taking readers into Ike’s last days in power.
“Magnificently rendered. … Destined to take its place as not only one of the masterworks on Eisenhower, but as one of the classics of presidential history. … Impeccably researched, the book is nothing short of extraordinary. What a triumph!”—JAY WINIK, New York Times bestselling author of April 1865 and 1944
In Three Days in January, Bret Baier masterfully casts the period between Eisenhower’s now-prophetic farewell address on the evening of January 17, 1961, and Kennedy’s inauguration on the afternoon of January 20 as the closing act of one of modern America’s greatest leaders—during which Eisenhower urgently sought to prepare both the country and the next president for the challenges ahead.
Those three days in January 1961, Baier shows, were the culmination of a lifetime of service that took Ike from rural Kansas to West Point, to the battlefields of World War II, and finally to the Oval Office. When he left the White House, Dwight Eisenhower had done more than perhaps any other modern American to set the nation, in his words, “on our charted course toward permanent peace and human betterment.”
On January 17, Eisenhower spoke to the nation in one of the most remarkable farewell speeches in U.S. history. Ike looked to the future, warning Americans against the dangers of elevating partisanship above national interest, excessive government budgets (particularly deficit spending), the expansion of the military-industrial complex, and the creeping political power of special interests. Seeking to ready a new generation for power, Eisenhower intensely advised the forty-three-year-old Kennedy before the inauguration.
Baier also reveals how Eisenhower’s two terms changed America forever for the better, and demonstrates how today Ike offers us the model of principled leadership that polls say is so missing in politics. Three Days in January forever makes clear that Eisenhower, an often forgotten giant of U.S. history, still offers vital lessons for our own time and stands as a lasting example of political leadership at its most effective and honorable.

Three Days in January. So honest and trustworthy, both President Eisenhower and Bret Baier. Enriching in every way, and very educational. Great read!
Excellent book, by an excellent conservative. Great news anchor and apparently a great author as well. I love reading about the legacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower while president and military general.
A relevant and important Read. Great commentary of a great speech used as a backdrop to tell the story of IKE! Timeless lesson of balance, morality and the duty of citizens
Three Days in January. The focus of Eisenhower’s creed to avoid war and seek peace is really the Bible. Yes, General Eisenhower understood war. His plans for “D” day is a masterpiece in planning to the finest detail. Again he knew how to win the battle and war but that was not his real focus. His philosophy of peace for the world is the creed for the future. He knew the “Military Industrial Complex” is not the solution. He gave us the path for lasting peace. Thank you for a wonderful piece of history and map for the future. James Shaw Naples, Florida
Captivating. Absolutely excellent.
More than I hoped for. This book was honestly refreshing and wonderful to read. The details of General Eisenhower, President Eisenhower, and then General Eisenhower are explained in such a way it takes the reader on a wonderful ride into his thinking and makeup. His involvement and thoughts on the Bay of Pigs was fascinating. I don't know if any current and former President would have the relationship described in those details ever again. His passion for this country and desire to look ahead as he headed for civilian life is a great story. I commend Brett Baier for his commitment to this subject and book. It was so much more than I expected and was a great read.
Great book on a much misunderstood president.. Full disclaimer here: I was given a copy from Mr. Baier after I took photos at the Reagan Library for another book Mr. Baier was writing and expressed my interest in Eisenhower. That said I'm also a student of history and was keen to find out if Eisenhower had been portrayed fairly as a president. I've always considered him a lightweight president but excellent commander in chief of the allied forces in WWII. I really enjoyed this book. It was well-written and thoroughly researched. What I found most fascinating was Eisenhower's measured response to threats, both external and internal. He pondered, he thought, he took his time and spent what seems like an eternity crafting his speeches and especially his final "military industrial" farewell. And I really enjoyed how Mr. Baier compared this, unflinchingly, to our present day politicians. I loved the details, the small anecdotes and especially his coverage of Ike's dealings with Kennedy. The book seemed to lose steam about a third of the way through but then picked up the pace toward the end magnificently. It was somewhat sparse on the Ike years presidential term details and I wanted to know more about several incidents but that's not what this book is about -- this is really focusing on those three days and on that it does supremely well. It was absolutely fascinating to peer, almost in real time over Ike's shoulder as he painstakingly crafted his most important speech. Mr. Baier doesn't let Ike off the hook when it comes to soft pedaling McCarthy and his seeming disdain for Nixon -- which I appreciated. I still don't buy why Ike didn't use the power of the bully pulpit to smash that other bully of the 50s. The behind the scenes stuff in the limos, with Kennedy and Camp David is fascinating. A great book digs deep into a specific historical moment and if you want to understand Ike's famous speech this is the place to begin.
Three Days in January. Outstanding book. Enjoy the history of WWII and the culture on the 50's. The relationship of Eisenhower and Kennedy before and after the Bays of Pigs.
An excellent tribute to an incredible man. As I read this I realized how grateful I am to have lived through throughout General Eisenhower’s presidency and to have memories of him as president. He was a truly extraordinary man. This book is poignant and informative. It’s the only book that has ever brought tears to my eyes; I had to pause reading to gather my thoughts at the description of his passing. After all he endured in his lifetime and the grace with which he conducted his life I experienced a heartfelt since of loss at his passing. This should be required reading for all Americans.
Three Days in January. Very interesting read. Very insightful regarding an age before I knew of politics and the beginning of the Cold War.
Great Book. This is a great book that details the great character of one of America’s most undervalued Presidents. It is a true display of his patriotism and well built mind.
The General. I found this book focused on Dwight D. Eisenhower the man, general, and president extremely informative. It provides insight into his intelligence as a military leader and strategist, and how those characteristics translate into the Oval Office. The book also caused me to reevaluate some of my political views regarding national defense and foreign policy. Thank you Bret Baier for the time invested by you and your team to share this bit of history.
Three Days in January. An excellent read of modern history and a great road map that today's politicians should follow.
