About the Program

William Hartung's latest book, "Prophets of War," chronicles the rise of the military contractor Lockheed Martin. David Eisenhower's latest, "Going Home to Glory," looks at President Eisenhower's life after he left the White House. This event was hosted by Barnes & Noble Booksellers in New York City.
