More about the book

The book delves into President Eisenhower's surprising support for the Federal Highway Aid Act of 1956, the largest public works project in U.S. history. It explores the challenges he faced, including opposition from his own Republican Party, which traditionally resisted such federal initiatives. The author examines Eisenhower's motivations for advocating this controversial expansion of federal power, his persistence against setbacks, and how this decision redefined the government's role in American society, influencing future conservative ideologies.
