The incredible story of the Meinels has never been told nor have their accomplishments and contributions ever been adequately recounted in one publication. This book is an effort to redress that oversight using interviews from those who knew them best, their own prodigious body of work including an unpublished autobiography, and documentation in Presidential libraries as well as universities and the National Archives.
