  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight to recommend a new book by 
Chicago Sun Times political editor Steve Neal, entitled Harry & Ike The 
Partnership That Remade the Postwar World. Mr. Neal is a trained 
historian and an experienced political journalist. Mr. Neal's 
fascinating insight and careful attention to detail bring these two 
extraordinary figures in American history, Presidents Harry S. Truman 
and Dwight D. Eisenhower, to life. I found this book to be a highly 
readable history of the relationship of two great Americans.
  Dr. Henry Kissinger said, ``Harry & Ike sheds important new light on 
a relationship founded on friendship and a similar heritage, bitterly 
shattered by politics and reknit by mutual respect at the end of their 
lives. Drawing on their letters, diaries and memoirs and on personal 
recollections of associates, Neal gives us fascinating insights into 
these two `giants that saved the West.'''
  Former Senator Bob Dole stated that, ``Harry & Ike is a fair, 
balanced, and compelling study of two great American presidents. Steve 
Neal brings both men vividly to life and does justice to his 
subjects.''
  This is a book that you will find interesting, informative and 
enjoyable. Read it, Harry & Ike, by Steve Neal. You won't be sorry; 
you'd be educated.
