Dwight Eisenhower: South Korea
built 621 days ago
Eisenhower was president during the 50's, a time of relative peace (despite the Korean Conflict) and prosperity. Eisenhower's willingness to sent federal troops into Little Rock, Arkansas to ensure that local schools were desegretated was an important step in the Civil Rights movement.

Vexler's three-part guide is one of the first published on Eisenhower. The first section is a fairly detailed chronological listing of important events in Eisenhower's life, but it should be used with care because of the number of typographical errors. The second part contains sixteen documents from the presidential years, including the inaugural addresses; the announcement of the Korean Armistice; and a number of special messages to Congress on the Middle East crisis (5 January 1957), space conquest and exploration, and civil rights. The third part, a bibliography, is so small that it is useless.

Eisenhower travelled to Korea before he took office to help conclude the peace talks. by July 1953, an Armistice was signed that separated Korea into two with a demilitarized zone at the 38th parallel.
