Dwight Eisenhower: Works
built 635 days ago
Early analyses of the effectiveness of the Eisenhower presidency were often negative. DeSantis found that historians' attitudes had changed by 1976, and most studies were favorable since peace and prosperity in America were prevalent during Eisenhower's administration. Even some of the early critics had changed their views. This work is not strictly a bibliography, but DeSantis' discussion of a number of studies forms a bibliographical essay.

Eisenhower worked hard to rehabilitate the injured knee but it never fully recovered. When graduation time rolled around he was called into the office of Colonel Shaw of the Medical Department. Colonel Shaw informed Eisenhower that he might not get his commission because of the knee. That means the Eisenhower would be out of the military all together.

Ann Whitman worked as Eisenhower's confidential secretary during his two terms as president and later (1965 - 77) served Nelson Rockefeller in the same capacity. A career woman, she was well qualified to serve as "First Secretary." Donovan's record of Whitman's experiences is based on her reminiscences and more than 15,000 pages of diary entries. This book provides a rich historical record of the Eisenhower presidency from what Whitman herself called the "secretary's worm's eye view."

In 1950, President Harry TRUMAN appointed Eisenhower the supreme commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces... making Eisenhower the first man to command a large, peacetime multinational force. His genius lay in getting people of diverse background to work together toward a common objective, but he was equally skillful as a strategist and administrator.
