President Eisenhower is not famously known for his engagement with the Civil Rights Movement. However, upon inspection, he surprisingly contributed a significant amount to the advancement of black civil rights during his presidency. This is why I want to write my university dissertation on how...

Could someone please give me a very detailed answer as to the policies of Presidents Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy on the Vietnam war? I kindly request you to further expound on the consequences of these policies they put into place and furthermore, how they justified their actions as defending...

I like Ike. He's my current figure of special focus amongst the American presidents, and I'm eagerly learning more about him. In a way, he kind of reminds me of Ulysses S. Grant. Both men were American warlords, who commanded war efforts on an epic scale, and were pretty much carried into the...

Very few Presidents of the United States have benefitted as much from historical revisionism as Dwight Eisenhower. When he first left office, he was widely panned by scholarly opinion as a "slightly daffy, avuncular, golf-loving, TV-dinner-eating, cowboy-novel-reading placeholder president" - a...

'Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.' Yup, the famous pre-amble to Eisenhower's denunciation of the "Military-Industrial-Complex" which he thought...

I came across this quote in book and I thought it would grease the wheels of thought. "Jefferson was to Washington and Adams what Dwight Eisenhower was to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman." What do you think it means?

While perusing through my history textbook I began reading about Dwight D. Eisenhower's presidency . From what little I read the Eisenhower Administration left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not saying he was a bad president...just that he wasn't a great one. How would you rate Eisenhower's...

Eisenhower family objects to proposed plans for memorial I think I have to agree with them. There's one statue, and it's of a barefoot Kansas boy?

Hi, I'm new to the forum, and I'm trying to find some information. As part of my personal collection, I have a short snorter (a 1935A Silver Certificate) hand-signed by Dwight Eisenhower and what appears to be his military unit. It's in pretty great condition, and I'd really like to know who the...

I'm reading a book that went into detail about Eisenhower. What interested me was the authors idea that Eisenhower's policy, or lack thereof, is the reason African Americans have voted for democrats for several years. The analysis basically explained that while Nixon as Vice President...

In your opinion was Eisenhower a good president?

Perhaps he's one of those presidents who rarely are talked about , well atleast from my view point. But , picking off from the Bill Clinton thread :nuts: , I want to know your opinion (No doubt our American members know best here :p) about this president. I mean, was he a good president ...

Eisenhower worked his way up the ranks to become Supreme Allied Commander and led the Normandy invasion. He came home a war hero, was elected president in 1952, and re-elected again in 1956. Domestically, Eisenhower was a moderate conservative and continued multiple New Deal programs. He...

I'm curious how you would rate Dwight Eisenhower as president of the US (1953-1961). (I actually thought about this upon learning it's the anniversary of his birth Oct. 14 1890) This time period was just before my lifetime so I don't "remember" it. But I have of course learned of some events...
