2. I'll look for Talbot

John Foster Dulles, Allen's brother, was Secretary of State under Eisenhower. He was kind of a loose cannon and Ike kept him on a short leash. At the time people believed he triggered the Hungarian uprising by half promising American support to dissident Eastern Europeans. Ambrose describes the relationship between Ike and Dulles is his 2 volume Eisenhower biography. He and Eisenhower had a personal relationship and he had access to all of Ike's papers plus extensive conversations. I think it's his best work.
