The Eisenhower Presidency, 1953-1961

By Richard V. Damms, Richard Damms, Richard Damms

Book Overview

A new examination of the Eisenhower presidency, offering an up-to-date synthesis of the new literature and a review of Eisenhower's record - from the mishandling of the Civil Rights movement to the escalation of the arms race and the intensification of the Cold War. The author argues that the presidency marked an important stage in the evolution of modern America, but left a decidedly mixed legacy for future presidents.
