Dwight Eisenhower: Terms
built 651 days ago
Robert Donovan, the Washington correspondent for The New York Herald Tribune, used cabinet meeting minutes, interviews with administration personnel, and many other documents in describing and analyzing the first three years of Eisenhower's presidency. He ends the book with Eisenhower's announcement of his candidacy for a second term. While Donovan was pro-Eisenhower, he presents such a balanced account that reviewers said his work was not just campaign literature.

Eisenhower repeated this achievement in 1956. In 1955 he had suffered a serious stroke, and in 1956 he underwent an operation for ileitis. Behaving with great dignity and making it clear that he would stand for a second term only if he felt he could perform his duties to the full, he accepted renomination and won the election with 477 of the 531 electoral votes and a popular majority of over 9 million.

Throughout and beyond his term as president, Eisenhower followed his mother's heart and concentrated on maintaining world peace. He watched in delight the development of his "atoms for peace" program — loans of American uranium to "have-not" nations for peaceful purposes.
