It is a quick down and dirty biography that covers the majors aspects of his life without any extra frill. A good book if you want a solid outline of Eisenhower's life.

Any additional comments?
This is a good book. It's narration is appropriate and the length was just long enough to accomplish what the author set out to do: give a brief biographical sketch of the man who led the Allies to victory on D-Day and went on to become President of the United States. I did not know much about Eisenhower prior to my listening to this 4.5 hour book. The author, Paul Johnson, is an excellent historian, and I respect his work because he tends to be conservative, which I think is a good quality when reading and studying history. Listen to this if you want to know more about the man who set the tone for America in the 1950's and coined the term "Military-Industrial Complex." You'll be glad you did!
