In 1981, the Eisenhower Library in Abilene, Kansas, published an excellent selected bibliography of periodical articles 

and dissertations on Dwight D. Eisenhower compiled by 

Robert D. Bohanan (see Bibliographies and Indexes). My 

intent has been that my bibliography, published in commemoration of the centennial of Eisenhower’s’birth, would be 

an adjunct to the Bohanan work. Thus, I have emphasized 

published monographs and have included periodical articles 

only if they were published after the early 1981 cutoff date for 

the Bohanan bibliography or were not listed in that collection. 

Most articles included here are from professional historical or 

military journals. Readers seeking articles in popular 

magazines such as Time, 7%e Saturday EEvening Post, or MCCalls should search volumes of the Readers’ Guide to Periodical Literature beginning with the volumes for the World 

War II period. Dozens if not hundreds of citations appear in 

the cumulated volumes of the Readers’ Guide. With one exception, such articles are not included here. Elmer T. 

Peterson’s interview of Eisenhower’s mother for Better Homes 

and Gar&n.s in June 1943 was so interesting and unusua1 that I 

included it. 

Besides books and journal articles, I have also included a 

few major microform collections of documents or oral history 

collections that are sold by microform publishers and thus 

should be available at major university libraries or other research centers around the country, No bibliography contains 

all the existing sources. I have included all those I could identify during the time allowed to compile and annotate this 

bibliography for publication. After first concentrating on 

V 
vi 

Eisenhower himself, I expanded my focus to include works by 

and about personalities associated with him, as those works 

contain material about him too. 

I owe many people thanks for their assistance in helping 

me complete this bibliography. Those to whom I owe special 

gratitude include Mrs. Betty Bohannon, Ms. Carol Ramkey, 

and Mr. John Rogers, reference librarians, and Mrs. Mary Jo 

Nelson, long-suffering interlibrary loan technician - all on the 

staff of the Combined Arms Research Library (CARL), U.S. 

Army Command and General Staff College. I also thank Mr. 

Dennis Vetock and Ms. Louise Arnold, reference technical information specialists at the U.S. Army Military History Institute, Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. 

The Combat Studies Institute’s editors, Mrs. Marilyn 

Edwards and Mr. Don Gilmore, have provided miraculous 

guidance in the final publishing of my bibliography, and I 

thank them for this dedication and the quality of their work. In 

addition, Mrs. Robbin Kern, CSI”s editorial assistant, provided 

exemplary support in preparing the manuscript using the Ventura Desktop Publishing system. 

To me, as to millions of other Americans old enough to 

remember victory in World War II, Dwight D. Eisenhower was 

“Ike” and a member of our families. He was one of us and 

more than us. He was a real American hero, and he still is.

Bohanan, Robert D., camp. Dwight D. Eisenhower: A Selected 

Bibliography of Periodical and Dissertation Literature. 

Abilene, KS: Dwight D. Eisenhower Library, National 

Archives and Records Service, 1981. 

This is the best bibliography of its type available on 

Eisenhower. Bohanan divides the bibliography into two sections. The first lists 741 periodical articles under 10 broad subject areas. Entries are listed alphabetically by author under 

each subject but are numbered consecutiveiy throughout the 

section beginning with the first entry. Author and subject indexes refer to the entry numbers. In this section, most entries 

are annotated. The second section of the bibliography lists 558 

dissertations arranged alphabetically under 23 subjects and 

numbered consecutively throughout the section. An author 

index refers to the numbers, but there is no subject index and 

entries are not annotated. 

DeSantis, Vincent. “Eisenhower Revisionism.” Review of 

Politics 38 (NO. 2 - 19’76): 190 - 207. 

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.

As described in the introduction, this 88-page bibliography contains separate alphabetical listings of manuscripts, 

federal records, microfilm, oral histories, and audiovisual holdings of the Eisenhower Library. Personal papers in manuscript 

form or on microfilm are listed under the person’s name. 

Entries give the inclusive dates of the collection, volume in 

linear feet (2,000 pages equals 1 foot) or meters or rolls of 

microfilm, and a brief description of the person and his or her 

relationship to Eisenhower, The oral history collectian in the 

library has two parts -one begun in 1960 in cooperation with 

the Columbia University Oral History Project and the library’s 

own project begun in 1963. The library’s audiovisual collection 

contains some 210,000 still prints; 585,000 feet of motion picture film and videotape; and 2,298 hours of audio recordings. 

Other library guides and specific collections are also given.

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 

19.571, space conquest and exploration, and civil rights. The 

third part, a bibliography, is so small that it is useless.

In this volume is the text of a television interview between 

Eisenhower and Alistair Cooke, a transplanted Englishman 

who made weekly broadcasts to Britain called ‘“A Letter From 

America.” The text is expanded and embeilished by numerous 

photographs and other material. Cooke spent three days with 

Eisenhower at his Gettysburg farm discussing various topics 

tanging from his childhood, to golf, to the code of a soldier. 

The television interview concentrates on Eisenhower’s experiences with and evahrations of Winston Churchill, whose 

desire to be at the front of the action often created problems.

various pagings. 

The first paper of nine in this thick compilation was 

“‘prepared by Major D. D. Eisenhower” and provides the 

author and cover title for the collection. Like some of the 

papers in the collection, Eisenhower’s is undated, but still 

others of the nine bear dates from 1920 to 1924. Eisenhower’s 

paper and some of the others have “Infantry Training 

Memorandum No. -” at the top of the title page. Eisenhower apparently titled his paper “‘Tanks,‘” but a handprinted 

addition altered the title to “Tanks With Infantry.” In the first 

section of the nine-page, single-spaced paper, Eisenhower 

summarizes general lessons learned from the World War I use 

of tanks with infantry and offers recommendations concerning 

special weapons proven useful (machine guns, smoke bombs, 

and so forth). In the second part, he discusses the training of 

division tank organizations, including the types ‘of tanks, possible missions, and suggestions on how to accomplish the 

missions.

This eighteen-page pamphlet contains Eisenhower’s personal report to Congress on the status and needs of NATO in 

a Europe still recovering from the devastation of World War 

II. It is a realistic, not too detailed appraisal with an upbeat 

tone. One major theme is Eisenhower’s call for more U.S. support in the form of military equipment and munitions rather 

than men. Also, Eisenhower cites his approval of the old 

Lend-Lease Plan of World War II that had placed equipment 

and arms in the hands of Allied fighting men without committing American forces.

Report of the Chief of Staff, United ‘States Army, to the 

Secretary of the Army, 7 February 1948. Washington, 

DC: United States Government Printing Office, 1948. 

In the fall of 1945, General Eisenhower returned from 

Europe and his role as supreme commander of the victorious 

Allied forces to become chief of staff of the Army, The immediate postwar period was one of turmoil and change for the 

Army. Rapid demobilization reduced the Army to a skeletal 

and widely dispersed force. With Eisenhower’s support and 

approval, Congress passed the National Security Act of 1947 

that created the Department of Defense and turned the Army 

Air Forces into a separate service, the U.S. Air Force. In 1948, 

Eisenhower retired. This twenty-seven page pamphlet is his 

final report in which he summarizes developments during his 

tour of duty and discusses, among many topics, the need for 

national defense and ongoing readiness involving the military 

and all areas of the civilian economy; maintaining international 

cooperation with and support of U.S. allies; building and supporting military forces capable of defending the United States 

and destroying an enemy in retaliatory strikes; and all the services working as a team rather than for single interests. In 

many respects, what Eisenhower records here is a forthright 

statement of the ideas and policies he proposed and followed 

as president.

Ambrose, Stephen E., and Richard H. Immerman. Milton S. 

Eisenhower: Educational Statesman. Baltimore, MD: 

Johns Hopkins University Press, 1983. 

As experts on Dwight Eisenhower, his era, and his administration, historians Ambrose and Immerman were familiar 

with the role Milton Eisenhower played as an adviser to his 

brother. Here, these historians cooperate to produce a biography of Milton Eisenhower. Enhanced by the opportunity to 

work extensively with their subject, their research resulted in a 
33 

fine record of Milton’s life and achievements. Of greatest interest to this centennial bibliography are the accounts of 

Milton’s close relationship with Ike. The description of how 

Milton advanced and supported Ike’s military career in the 

1930s and early 1940s is fascinating. In the 1930s Milton was 

in the middle of his career in civil service and was the wellknown Eisenhower in Washington. When Ike was assigned 

there, Milton took him to many official and unofficial affairs, 

introducing him to high officials and the press corps. When Ike 

appointed Vichy French Admiral Jean Darlan as governor 

general of French North Africa after the Allied invasion there 

and began receiving much criticism for the act, Milton Eisenhower and other high officials supported Ike. President 

Roosevelt sent Milton to North Africa to help resolve the 

crisis and to take over the’operation of the Free French Radio 

until the furor died.

Milton Eisenhower was Dwight’s youngest brother and a 

career public servant. For forty-nine years, he worked for eight 

presidents (from Calvin Coolidge to Richard Nixon), and he 

describes his experiences under those men. The importance of 

this autobiography is the account of his work with Ike as confidant and adviser.

career and presidency and the parallel career of Milton Eisenhower, along with activities of Ike’s son, John; grandson, 

David; and others. In all, the book gives a good account of this 

American family. 

Peterson, Elmer T. “‘Mother Eisenhower Talks About Her 

Most Famous Son.” Better Homes and Gardens 21 (June 

1943): 18 - 19 + , 

While General Eisenhower was directing his forces to victory in North Africa, his eighty-plus-year-old mother talked to 

Elmer Peterson about raising her sons in a household where 

life .was simple and self-sufficient and all the young men 

thrived. She described Ike’s skill in cooking everything from 

stews to apple pie and his love of gardening that endured 

through 1941 when, at Fort Lewis, Washington, he grew a 

vegetable garden. This article provides an intimate and affectionate view of Ike’s background and has several good pictures 

of his mother.

Ambrose, the leading authority on Eisenhower, has written in volume 1, Soldier, General of the Amy, President-Elect,, 

1890- 1952, a meticulous, thought-provoking study of Eisenhower from birth to his presidency. In volume 2, 7%e Fyesident, 

which covers the presidency and the years until Eisenhower’s 

death in 1969, Ambrose praises the president most for his handling of international crises and holding to financial policies 

that brought prosperity to the nation. In this volume, however, 

he does not hesitate to criticize Ike’s failure to support civil 

rights strongly, to understand Third World needs and hopes, 

and to improve relations with the Soviet Union.

Photographs. With text by Michael R. Beschloss.” 

Brendon, Piers. Ike, His Life and Times. New York: Harper 

and Row, 1986. 

British author Brendon refutes recent claims of 

Eisenhower’s greatness as a president, asserting that, while 

Ike’s conservatism and caution helped him manage Allied affairs and control Patton and Montgomery, the same qualities 

made him a poor president. Brendon faults Ike for not standing up to Senator McCarthy, for supporting covert CIA intelligence activities that led to later debacles in Central America 

and Vietnam, and for failing to support the civil rights 

movement. 

Burk, Robert Fredrick. Dwight D. Eisenhower: Hero and 

Politician. Boston, MA: Twayne Publications, a division 

of G. K. Hall, 1986. 

This biography identifies Eisenhower as a man capable of 

skillfully managing his public image, American and Allied 

forces, and his administration. Yet, Burk asserts, his conservative policies and failure to support needed changes in civil 

rights and political areas created problems that led to 

upheavals in the 1960s and 1970s.

Childs, Marquis William. Eisenhower: Captive Hero, a Critical 

Study of the General and the President. New York: Harcourt, Brace, 19.58. 

Childs analyzes Eisenhower as a man, military officer, and 

president who was stripped of the mystique that fame as a 

public hero laid on him. In examining the effects of 

Eisenhower’s presidency on the nation, Ghilds pays particular 

attention to foreign policy. 

David, Lester, and Irene David. Ike and Mamie: The Story of 

the General and His Lady. New York: Putnam, 1981. 

Wtitten mainly from a woman’s viewpoint, this is a warm 

and human record of Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower’s successful and long marriage. The marriage survived many 

problems, including the tragic death of their small first son, 

the long separations that most military families endure, and 

the experience of learning to accept each other’s eccent&$ties. 

Davis, Kenneth Sydney. Soldier of Democracy: The Biography 

af Dwight Eisenhower. Garden City, NY: Doubleday,

Davis’ work is notable as one of the first full biographies

with each edition covering Eisenhower’s life from his boyhood 

in Ktinsas to the events “occurring at the time of each particular 

edition.

other books and reports.

Jameson, Henry B. They Still Call Him Ike. New York: 

Vantage Press, 1972. 

This is not a complete biography in the sense of other 

books in this section, but it includes information and anecdotes about most periods of Ike’s life. Like Eisenhower, Henry 

Jameson came from Abilene. He first met Ike in 1942 as a 

rookie Associated Press correspondent and, in June 1944, was 

the first war correspondent wounded on Omaha Beach during 

the D-Day invasion. An Abilene newspaper editor in the 1950s 

and l96Os, Jameson worked with and observed Eisenhower on 

many occasions. In fact, he was one of the first supporters of 

Eisenhower for president. His book is rambling, disorganized, 

and even repetitive at times, yet it is fascinating because of all 

the unusual anecdotes -Ike and his brothers having a hamburger stand at the county fairgrounds, how the “I Like Ike” 

slogan began, and Ike’s lament to Jameson that, having been 

supreme commander, he had no ((spine tingling” combat 

stories to tell his grandchildren,

Lyon, Peter. Eisenhower: Portrait of the Hero. Boston, MA: 

Little, Brown, 1974. 

This critical biography emphasizes Eisenhower’s leadership in World War II and his conduct of foreign policy in his 

presidency. Lyon presents two Eisenhowers: an optimistic 

public man who succeeded as Allied commander because he 

had the personality for the position and a man who delegated 

his work to others -especially as president - and had little real 

interest in government. According to Ryan, this attitude 

resulted in a poorly led administration ‘that achieved little in 

domestic areas and worsened the Cold War. 

McCann, Kevin. Man From Abilene: Dwight David Eisenhower, a Story of Leadership, New York: Doubleday, 

1952. 

The author served as Eisenhower’s chief assistant from 

1946 to 1951 -a period when Ike was successively Army chief 

of staff, president of Columbia University, and supreme commander of iNATO”s armed forces. McCann’s book was identified as campaign literature, but multiple reviewers found it to 

be a balanced biography of the best variety. Thus, it is included here rather than in the section on campaign literature.

This is another entry that is not a biography, but it records 

Arthur Nevins’ (brother of historian Allan Nevins) adult 

lifetime friendship with Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower. 

Nevins was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Infantry 

in 1917 and was assigned to the 57th Infantry in Texas, where 

he met the regimental supply officer, Captain Eisenhower. The 

two officers met again in 1956 in the Philippines, and their 

families began a social life that ended only with Ike’s death in 

1969. In 1941, Nevins worked under Eisenhower in the War 

Plans Division of the General Staff and eventually served as 

head of the Plans and Operations Section of the Supreme 

Headquarters, Allied Expenditionary Force (SHAEF). Nevins, 

who became a research editor after the war, helped Ike 

prepare Crusa& in Europe for publication. Also, after the 

Eisenhowers purchased their farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Nevins managed it for some seventeen years. Though 

full of typographical errors, the book is a fascinating view of 

SHAEF and of Eisenhower as general, leader of men, president, and human being.

Ambrose, Stephen E. Eisenhower and Berlin, 1945: The 

Decision to Halt at the Elbe. New York: W. W. Norton, 

1967. 

In this book, Ambrose examines Eisenhower’s decision to 

stop U.S. forces at the Elbe River, thus allowing the Soviet 

Army to take Berlin. Considering why Ike made the decision 

and what the results were, Ambrose concludes, among other 

things, that even if the Americans had taken Berlin, they 

would have had to withdraw to other areas as previously 

agreed. 

-* “Eisenhower and the Intelligence Community in World 

War II.” Journal of Ccmtempoirary History [Great 

Britain] 16 (No. 1 - 1981): 153 - 66. 

Ambrose delineates Eisenhower’s progress from novice to 

master in the use of military intelligence in World War If, 

wherein the supreme commander made skillful use of Ultra 

and other information and deception in conduct of the war.

Here Ambrose describes and analyzes Eisenhower’s planning for the invasion of-Europe, emphasizing his use of intelligence and deception. 

“Eisenhower’s Generalship.” Parameteqs 20 (June 

7990):2- 12. 

In this special centennial article, Ambrose considers the 

qualities that made Eisenhower a great leader and commander. Before 1942, Ike’s only command assignment had 

been as a training officer as a lieutenant in 1917. In November 

1942, he found himself commanding Operation Torch, the 

Allied invasion of French North Africa. Beginning at this 

point, Ambrose highlights Ike’s successes and mistakes and 

tells how he learned from them. 

-* The Supreme Commander: The War Years of General 

Dwight D. Eisenhower. Garden City, NY: Doubleday,

Ambrose evaluates the command decisions that Eisenhower made during the North Africa and Normandy invasions 

and in reaction to the German counteroffensive in the Battle 

of the Bulge. Also described are relationships between Eisenhower and Allied military and civilian leaders such as Churchill and Montgomery. 

Bender, Mark C. Watershed at Leavenworth: Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Command and General Staff School. Fort 

Leavenworth, KS: Combat Studies Institute, United States 

Army Command and General Staff College, 1990. 

Bender’s 1988 M.M.A.S. degree thesis at the Command 

and General Staff College emerges as a Combat Studies Institute special study published in celebration of the centennial 

of Eisenhower’s birth. In a biographical account ending with 
25 

Eisenhower’s arrival at Fort Leavenworth, Bender identifies 

several themes in Eisenhower’s life that were important to his 

year of study: a drive to excel in his studies, an individualism 

that led him to work with one teammate rather than the usual 

study group, and an ability to use the talents of his peers and 

cultivate friendships that would help his future career. After 

describing the evolution of the schools at Fort Leavenworth, 

Bender focuses on Eisenhower’s experiences and accomplishments during the 1925 -26 school year (he graduated first in 

his class) and explains how that experience affected his future 

military career. 

Blumenson, Martin. Eisenhower. Ballantine’s Illustrated History of the Violent Century. War Leader Book no. 9. New 

York: Ballantine Books, 1972. 

In this paperback, which includes many illustrations and 

several maps, Blumenson describes and analyzes Eisenhower’s 

work as the supreme commander of the Allied forces in 

Europe during World War II. He considers all sides of the 

issues on which Eisenhower received criticism, and the result 

is a balanced account. 

“Eisenhower: Great Commander or Chairman of the 

Board?” Army 16 (June 1966):34 -45. 

Carefully and in some detail, Blumenson cites the 

opinions of military personnel and historians critical of 

Eisenhower’s role as supreme commander. Most saw him as a 

lucky, congenial, and popular man who made a good 

figurehead but otherwise was just a go-between for his superiors in Washington and his subordinate commanders-a 

“chairman of the board”’ who made no real decisions and did 

not want to do so. Then, Blumenson just as carefully refutes 

such claims with a detailed discussion of Eisenhower’s professional schooling and other Army training, his service under 
26 

leading commanders in the War Department, his ability to 

pick ‘the best men as part of his command team and to 

cooperate with leaders from the Allied nations, and his proven 

ability to make necessary and specific decisions as required. 

Blumenson concludes that, although the circumstances of his 

command caused him to play the role of chairman of the 

board at times, General Eisenhower was a flexible and outstanding military commander. 

The Patton Papers. 2 ~01s. Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1972 - 74. 

In volume 1 are only two items relating to Eisenhower-a 

letter Patton wrote Ike on 9 July 1926 congratulating him on 

graduating first in his class at the Command and General Staff 

School and a letter to another person on 3 September 1928 

indicating that he and Ike were going sailing. Volume 2 is full 

of letters and other messages exchanged between the two men, 

beginning with Ike’s note indicating that he was thinking about 

an armored command under Patton. 

Bradley, Omar Nelson. A Soldier’s Story. New York: Henry 

Holt and Co., 1951. 

This memoir of Bradley’s service in World War II is as

this book are Bradley’s observations of and interactions with 

Eisenhower.

Personal Diary of Captain Harry C. Butcher, USNR,

In this 911-page tome, Butcher presents a day-to-day 

record of his experiences with Ike, tracking the activities of the 
27 

general and his staff and creating a warm human picture of his 

commander in chief. 

Chase, Margaret. Never Too Late. San Rafael, CA: Ausonia 

Press, 1983. 

When the United States became involved in World War 

II, Margaret Chase, a high school history and art teacher in 

San Francisco, volunteered to serve as an American Red Cross 

field director, She received her training in Washington, DC, 

where she met Major Ernest R. “‘Tex” Lee, an aide to General 

Eisenhower. Chase’s Red Cross assignments continually placed 

her in areas where Eisenhower? headquarters were locatedLondon, Algiers, and .Paris. With Tex Lee as her es‘cort, Chase 

was an active member of Allied headquarters’ social life, and 

her autobiography records her opinions and observations of 

the headquarters personnel, in&ding Eisenhower and Patton. 

This book contains no military history but is an unusual record 

of the Life elf the Allied headquarters. 

D’Este, Carlo. Decision in Normandy. New York: Dutton, 

1983. 

D’Este meticulously describes the Normandy invasion, 

concentrating on the beach landing and move inland up to 19 

August 1944. He especially considers the role of Field Marshal 

Montgomery and is critical of Montgomery’s conduct of battles 

and descriptions of them in his writings. 

The Eisenhower Foundation. D-Day: The Normandy Invasion 

in Retrospect. Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 

1971. 

This volume contains papers presented at an Eisenhower 

Foundation symposium on 6 -7 June 1969 at the Eisenhower 

Library in Abilene, Kansas, in celebration of the twenty-fifth 
28 

anniversary of the Normandy invasion, The papers, written by 

such men as Omar Bradley, Martin Blumenson, and former 

Reich Admiral Friedrich Ruger, cover not only the invasion 

itself but also the extensive planning before D-Day. 

Funk, Arthur L. “Churchill, Eisenhower, and the French 

Resistance,” MiIitary AfTairs 45 (February 1981):29 -33. 

In late 1943, the success of Yugoslavian partisans against 

German forces led Winston Churchill to believe that concentrated aid to Resistance forces in southern France could 

result in considerable disruptions of German activities and 

support of an Allied invasion of southern France. For varying 

reasons, General de Gaulle and French Resistance leaders 

also supported increased aid to the Resistance. As invasion 

plans progressed, Eisenhower, too, added his support. Funk 

discusses and compares the attitudes and priorities of each 

party and how they failed to coordinate their interests and efforts so that, while the resistance movement did receive more 

aid, proposed uses of the Resistance never materialized. 

Garland, Albert N. ‘They Had Charisma: Marshall, Bradley, 

Patton, Eisenhower; From the Papers of Lt. Gen. 

Raymond S. McLain.” Army 21 (May 1971):26-31. 

MeLain, who commanded the 90th Division in the Normandy invasion, provides personal glimpses of Eisenhower in 

this article. When he met Eisenhower at Third Army headquarters between Verdun and Metz, he was wearing only one 

star. After Ike told McLain that he had been promoted, Patton 

came up with two stars for Ike to pin on. Later, when McLain

troops. After talking to a battalion of the 29th Division, Ike 

stepped off some boards that made up a walkway, fell and

Hammon, Stratton. “When the Second Lieutenant Bearded 

General Eisenhower.” Military Affairs 47 (October 

1983): 129 - 32. 

The title of this article is not accurate in terms of what 

the article describes, but the incident is an interesting anecdote about Ike’s headquarters. An engineer officer, Hammon 

was loaned to the Fine Arts, Movements, and Archives Section 

of the Normandy invasion force’s European Civil Affairs 

Division. His unit was to preserve, restore, and recover 

European fine art. The junior officer in Hammon’s unit was 

Second Lieutenant James Rorimer, an experienced museum 

curator who knew little, of military protocol. Toward the end of 

1944, SHAEF moved into a number of buildings ,at the Palace 

of Versailles complex. Since Ike’s office was put in an empty 

building, his headquarters personnel requisitioned art 

treasures and furnishings from the Versailles Museum and 

another museum. ,When gossip began to spread about expropriation of these items, Rorimer, scorning channels, confronted the headquarters commandant and effected the return 

of the treasures to the Versaille Museum, thus saving Eisenhower from possible embarrassment. 

Karl, Dennis R. “Drive for Berlin: The Debate Over Strategy 

in the Invasion of Germany.” American History 

Illustrated 20 (June 1985):20 -27. 

Once Allied invasion forces were securely on French soil 

and advancing, Eisenhower faced a choice of two proposals on 

the further strategic conduct of the war. The British wanted to 

send their forces under General Montgomery forging ahead on 

a narrow front to take Berlin and crush the Nazis. Most of the 

A.merican staff-excluding General Patton and a few others - 

favored a broad-front advancement strategy. Possible success 

of either strategy was delayed by the British failure of Operation Market Garden in the Netherlands in September 1944 

and the German counterattack in December 1944. Yet it was 
30 

nclt until General Omar Bradley’s farces crossed the Rhine in 

early March 1945 that General Eisenhower finally decided 

definitely to pursue the broad-front strategy and agreed with 

the Soviets to meet their forces southeast of Berlin. In this article, which does not favor Eisenhower, Karl describes these 

events and others in detail. He makes no overt comments 

about Eisenhower’s decision making, but his tone is one of intense disapproval. 

Kingseed, Cole C. “Education of a Combat Commander.” 

Military Review 6.5 (December 1985):12 - 19. 

On the basis that successful command in war means 

knowing what to do and how to do it, Kingseed analyzes what, 

besides victory, made Eisenhower successful. Certain areas of 

Eisenhower’s background prepared him for his command in 

World War II: his training in the Army professional schoolsespecially the Command and General Staff School; his service 

in staff positions where he learned the fundamentals of combat support and combat service support; and his assignments 

under the best Army leaders, including his mentors, Generals 

Fox Conner and George C. Marshall. As supreme commander 

of an unprecedented organization, Eisenhower knew from his 

training and experience what to do and how to do it -or ‘. 

learned quickly.

A British WAC, Summersby served for three and one-half 

years with Eisenhower, first as his driver during his African 

and European campaigns, then as his secretary and military 

aide. She describes her experiences, painting a very human 

portrait of the general.

Murphy, Robert Daniel. Diplomat Among Warriors. Garden 

City, NY: Doubleday & Co., 1964. 

Robert Murphy began his long and distinguished career 

as a foreign service officer with the State Department in April 

1917. Assignments placed him in Munich in the 1920s where 

he witnessed Hitler’s beginnings as a leader of the Nazis and 

in France from 1930 to 1940 when he was charge d’affaires to 

the Vichy government, President, Roosevelt recalled Murphy 

in 1940, made him his personal representative, and sent him to 
32 

survey conditions in French North Africa. In August 1942, 

Roosevelt assigned Murphy, again as his personal representative, to Eisenhower’s staff, a position Murphy held until 

the end of the war. His autobiography is an exciting account of 

many events and his work with Eisenhower. 

Nadich, Judah. Eisenhower and the Jews. New York: Twayne 

Publishers, 1953. 

Rabbi Judah Nadich was Eisenhower’s first adviser on 

Jewish affairs when the Allied commander. faced the complex 

problems of dealing with the Jews from the concentration 

camps and displaced person camps. In most of the book, 

Nadich tells how Eisenhower learned about and quickly 

moved to heIp the refugees and also describes further relations between Eisenhower and Jewish groups up to his election as president in 1952. Nadich has included a number of 

documents in his book. 

Odom, Charles B. General George S. Patton and Eisenhower. 

New Orleans, LA: Word Picture Productions, 1985. 

This is a popularly written reminiscence of Qdom’s experiences as Third Army surgical consultant and, as such, a 

member of Pattons staff. He was a witness to Patton’s anguish 

over being reprimanded by Eisenhower. Only a little direct 

materiaf on Eisenhower himself is in this book. 

Patton, George S., Jr. -War as I Knew Et. Boston, MA: 

Houghton Mifflin Co., 1947. 

General Patton kept a diary from July 1942 to 5 December 1945, and its entries were candid, critical, and sometimes 

caustic. At the end of World War II, he wrote this book using 

his diary to provide correct details, sometimes quoting directly 

from it. While he toned down the level of his comments, he 
33 

still gives candid opinions. He writes about Eisenhower 

numerous times, such as their attending a victory parade in 

Tunisia, Ike’s visits to the troops, and when the two tried to 

start a fire in a hotel ro’om to get warm and, instead, set fire to 

the hotel. 

Pickett, William B. “Eisenhower as a Student of Clausewitz.” 

Military Review 65 (July 1985):21-27. 

Eisenhower’s first acquaintance with the writings of 

Clausewitz came when he was assigned to Panama in the 

1920s. Guided by his commanding officer, Brigadier General 

Fox Conner, Eisenhower began a program of reading military 

history and theory. Conner and Eisenhower discussed 

Clausewitz at considerable length. A few years later, Eisenhower and his fellow students applied Clausewitz’ theories in 

their studies at the Army War College. In a still later assignment with the General Staff, Eisenhower worked under 

General George C. Marshall, another student of Clausewitz. 

In such an atmosphere, Pickett says, Clausewitz and his 

theories could only have become engrained in the mind of a 

man as quick to learn as Eisenhower. 

Pogue, Forrest C. The Supreme Command. United States 

Army in World War II. Washington, DC: Office of the 

Chief of Military History, Department of the Army, 1954. 

Pogue’s book is a history of the supreme command of the 

Allied forces during World War II and how it planned and 

conducted the Normandy invasion and then pursued the war in 

Europe until the surrender of Germany in 1945. Beginning 

with an account of how Eisenhower became supreme commander, Pogue describes the sections, of the headquarters 

staff, their functions, and their personnel. He then tells of the 

plans and decisions Eisenhower and his staff *made before and 

after the invasion, including the discussions, conferences, and 
34 

so forth, that led to the decisions. As supreme commander and 

final decision maker, Eisenhower is a major personality in the 

book.

Before the Normandy invasion, Sally &ckerman, a 

British bombing theorist, proposed that the Allies bomb German repair and other railroad facilities in narthwest Europe in 

order to inhibit German response. to the Allied invasion. 

Other bombing proposals included destroying German oil 

production and supplies and increasing attacks on German 

cities. As supreme A.hied commander, General Eisenhower 

had to consider all aspects of the proposals. Rostow, who was 

involved in the decision making, describes the complex processes of Eisenhower’s final strategic decision in choosing 

Zuckerman’s proposal. 

Sixsmith, Eric Keir Gilborne. Eisenhower as Military Commander. New York: Stein and Day, 1973; Chelsea, MI: 

Scarborough House, 1983. 

Sixsmith, a British major general, describes Eisenhower’s 

military career beginning with his years at West Point. He emphasizes Eisenhower’s activities during World War II by dividing them into two sections: the landings in North Africa, Sicily, 

and Italy, and following campaigns, and the planning and completion of the Normandy invasion and the defeat of Germany. 

Eisenhower’s leadership and management genius shine in the 

narrative.

This book is a compilation of articles published in i%e 

Sa~urky Evening Post in 1946. In it, Smith, who served as 

Eisenhower’s chief of staff during World War II, describes 

such decisions as the date of the Normandy invasion, the conduct of the Battle of the Bulge, the destruction of German 

forces west of the Rhine, the encirclement of the Ruhr, and 

the pursuit of German forces into Germany. 

Snyder, Marty, and Glenn D. Kittler. My Friend Ike. New 

York: Fell, 2956. $ 

Snyder, a mess sergeant for a military police company, 

first met Lieutenant Colonel Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 

summer v of 1941 at Camp Beauregard, Louisiana. Eisenhower 

inspected Snyder’s kitchens, and Snyder was so impressed with 

the future commander that he resolved to work for Ike one 

day. In 1944, Snyder became the SHAEF mess sergeant. An 

accomplished scrounger for special food items, Snyder 

describes delightful incidents such as getting, hot dogs from the 

Navy to serve at a special picnic for Ike and guests such as 

Winston Churchill. After the war, Snyder remained in touch 

with Eisenhower and began working for Eisenhower’s election 

as president as early as 194S. 

Snyder, William P. “Walter Bedell Smith: Eisenhower’s Chief 

of Staff.‘” Military Affairs 48 (January 1984):6- 14. 

Before leaving for London in June 1942, Eisenhower 

asked General George 6. Marshall to assign Brigadier 

General Walter Bedeli Smith of the General Staff as his chief 

of staff. Snyder maintains that Smith, one of Marshall’s highly 

valued proteges, remains one of the unsung heroes of World 

War IL, for he was never a newsworthy personality. In this 

detailed article, Snyder analyzes Smith’s personality, 

capabilities, and role as Eisenhower’s chief of staff and 

describes how he had to take the concepts of a chief of staff 
36 

position for smaller units and build one for an Allied command of a type that had never existed before. Smith worked 

with Ike to set up an Allied headquarters staff and keep it 

functioning at the highest efficiency throughout the war. Smith 

worked so well with Eisenhower that Ike made Smith his representative on special assignments, to include negotiating the 

surrender of Italy.

Walk, Herman S, “‘Planning and Organizing the Air Force.” 

Aerospace Historian 34 (Fall/September 1987):167 -7.5. 

Walk’s article is a survey of how the U.S. Air*Force came 

to be, the personalities involved in its creation, and the roles 

they played. General Henry H. “Hap” Arnold and others 

began laying the groundwork as early as 1943, but it was the 

support of Eisenhower is postwar Army chief df staff that “cemented the case for air independence.” Eisenhower also supported President Truman’s call for a single Department of 

Defense with separate secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air 

Force, believing the result would be greater unity of command 

and economy through shared procurement, intelligence, communications, ,and so forth. His efforts contributed greatly to 

Congress passing the National Security Act of 1947, which 

created the Department of Defense and the Air Force. Walk 

points out that, unfortunately, Eisenhower’s idea of economic 

savings through shared support organizations never 

materialized.

During the candidacy of most modern presidential 

nominees, one or more “biographies” appear that are easily 

recognizable as “campaign literature.” General characteristics 

of these works are an obvious bias in favor of the subject? lack 

of citations to responsible sources or even of bibliographies, 

occasional use of created conversation in the text, and just 

plain puffery. The following works were identified by 

reviewers and Library of Congress cataloging as part of the 

genre. They are included in this bibliography only to indicate 

the types of such materials that appeared about Eisenhower. 

Several were not available for examination, so they are only 

listed. Annotations are supplied for others.

Field provides no citation or listing of sources for his 132-

shortcomings, such as his temper, and rather proudly describes 

the number of demerits Eisenhower earned at West Point, but 

he writes about each in a joking manner.

The first edition of this book appeared in 1944, and it was 

reissued in time for the election campaign. It contains much 

conversation, and reviewers noted that it was partially fictionalized. Their ratings ranged from “straight corn” to “impurely 

fictional.” The book, however, was extremely popular.

Death of McCarthyism. New York: W. W. Norton CO., 

1983. 

Adams served as a counsel for the Army during the fray 

between Senator Joseph McCarthy and the Army, and Adams’ 

career suffered from that involvement. Thus, his record of the 

events is highly biased, and he severely criticizes the Army and 

leading members of the Eisenhower administration.

As governor of New Hampshire, Sherman Adams became 

an early- and leading supporter of Eisenhower for president. 

He served as Ike’s floor manager during the 1952 Republican 

Convention and followed his idol to Washington. Six years 

later, following the revelation of his exchange of official and 

personal favors with Bernard Goldfine, a New England 

businessman, Adams resigned his position in the administration and left the capital in disgrace. Adams” book describes 

events of the Eisenhower presidency and ends with his awn

entries consider economic and other policies. 

Alexander, Charles C, Holding the Line: The Eisenhower Era, 

1952 - 1961. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1975. 

This revisionist study is a favorable assessment of the 

Eisenhower presidency, especially of the foreign policy of the 

period. Alexander applauds Ike’s strong stand against communism without involving the country in war. Topics emphasized include the Indochina question, the 1956 Suez crisis, 

and McCarthyism.

Aliano traces changes in defense policy from Eisenhower 

to Kennedy and thus covers the shift from the policies of massive retaliation and strategic sufficiency to flexible response 

and strategic superiority. Emphasis is on dissenters from 

Eisenhower policy, Aliano concludes that the shift gave Kennedy and Johnson power for massive intervention in Southeast 

Asia and led to the great Soviet missile buildup in the late 

1960s. 

Ambrose, Stephen E., with Richard H. Immerman. Ike’s Spies:

This book is a historical analysis of the development of 

U.S. intelligence activities during periods of Eisenhower’s 

leadership as supreme commander in Europe in World War II 

and during his presidency, with emphasis on the latter. Major 

intelligence events of the period included reestablishment of 

the Pahlavi shah in Iran, CIA activities, and the U-Z incident. 

Anderson, J. W. Eisenhower, Brownell, and the Congress: The 

Tangled Origins of the Civil Rights Bill of 1956- 1957. 

Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press, 1964. 

The Supreme Court’s 1954 decision against segregation in 

the Brown V. the Board CJ~ Education case led to a dilemma 

over how to enforce the decision and the violence and murder 

when attempts were made to do so. At the end of 1955, 

Eisenhower’s attorney general, Herbert Brownell, ordered his 

staff at the Department of Justice to draft new civil rights 

legislation. The act failed in Congress in 1956 but passed in 

1957 -the first such legislation since 1875. John W. Anderson, 

an editorial writer for Tricle Washingtan Post, divided this 

detailed study of the legislation into two parts: the first covers 

the drafting of the bill and its approval by the administration, 

including the resolution of disagreements between Eisenhower 
41 

and Brownell over the contents of the act.,.The second part of 

the study follows the bill through Congress, describing the 

multiple forces inside and outside of Congress that tried to influence the final vote.

Billings-Yun’s article offers a brief discussion of the topic 

presented fully fleshed in her book: how President Eisenhower, confronted by French pleas for U.S. military intervention to aid them against Communist forces in Indochina, realized the dangers of such intervention and successfully kept the

From 1949 to 1954, Chiang Kai-shek’s National Chinese 

forces on Taiwan garrisoned and used islands off mainland 

China as bases for raids on the mainland. Two of the islands, 

Quemoy and Matsu, became well known to Americans when, 

in September 1954, the Chinese Communists began bombing 

them. Over the next nine months, the United States became 

involved in the crisis to the point of possible nuclear war. In 

this article, Brands describes the diplomatic maneuvering and 

decision making of the Eisenhower administration and 

analyzes why the decisions were made and who made them.

This study does not specifically address Eisenhower or his 

administration. Rather, Caute focuses on the anti-Communist 

political climate of the late 1940s and 1950s as it related to 

Eisenhower’s administration. That climate included congressional investigating committees, FBI informers, antisubversive 

laws passed by state legislatures, deportation of enemy aliens, 

and attempts to identify Communists in the unions and educational systems. 

Chang, Gordon I-I. “To the Nuclear Brink: Eisenhower, Dulles, and the Quemoy-Matsu Crisis.” International 

Security 12 (Spring 1988):96 - 123. 
45 

Chang writes that revisionist historians are correct when 

they state that Eisenhower was continually involved in the 

decision making and actions of his administration. But, Chang 

points out, in the case of the crisis over Communist Chinese 

claims to and the bombardment of the islands of Quemoy and 

Matsu, Eisenhower’s leadership was neither skillful nor steady 

and brought the United States to the brink of nuclear war. 

Furthermore, he writes, Eisenhower not only considered but 

advocated using nuclear weapons against China. Basing his 

claims on r&ently declassified documents, Chang carefully 

describes the events of the crisis, concluding that war was 

avoided only because Chiang Kai-shek rejected a US. 

proposal and the Chinese Communists backed away from the 

confrontation. I-Ie makes a number of other accusations 

against Eisenhower. 

Cook, Blanche Wiesen. The Declassified Eisenhower: A 

Divided Legacy of Peace and Political Warfare. Garden 

City, NY: Doubleday, 1981; New York: Penguin Books, 

1984. 

After devoting four chapters to a description of 

Eisenhower’s political growth before becoming president, 

Cook reassesses Eisenhower’s foreign policy, using many 

newly declassified sources. She identifies his desire to avoid 

war while conducting the Cold War and authorizing covert activities. Two chapters on U.S. activities in Guatemala are 

aimed at supporting Cook’s contention that the activities 

formed a pattern for future intervention. 

Cook, Fred J. The Nightmare Decade: The Life and Times of i 

Senator Joe McCarthy. New York: Random House, 1971. 

In this book, Cook vividly re-creates the events of the 

McCarthy era, tracing McCarthy’s rise to national prominence 
46 

as a creator of anti-Communist hysteria and his fall from 

power during the Eisenhower presidency. 

Cooper, Chester L. The Lion’s Last Roar: Suez, 1956. New 

York: Harper & Row, 1978. 

In the 195Os, Chester Cooper worked for the Central Intelligence Agency and was, for some time, an assistant to Allen 

Dulles, the CIA director. In the summer of 1955, Cooper 

received an assignment to the U.S. Embassy in London as a 

liaison officer between the analytical intelligence services of 

the United States and Great Britain. Thus, as the Suez crisis 

developed, he had personal knowledge of information and 

events. Also, during the London conferences on the canal 

crisis and the subsequent British-French-Israeli intervention, 

he interacted with Secretary of State Dulles and other 

diplomats. Using his personal knowledge and other information gleaned from foreign and American archives, published 

and other memoirs, and even an interview with former Prime 

Minister Anthony Eden, Cooper presents a history of the 

crisis.

Desmond, James. Nelson Rokkefeller: A Political Biography. 

New York: Macmillan, 1964. 

Part of this book (pages 13 -53) describes Rockefeller’s 

role in the Eisenhower administration, In 1953, he became a 

member of what Desmond calls a “tight little group” of planners who advised Eisenhower. Other members included Milton S, Eisenhower and Arthur S. Fleming. By executive order, 

the group became the President’s Advisory Committee on 

Government Organization and worked to streamline the executive section of the government. Rockefeller worked with 

Oveta Gulp Hobby to set up the new Department of Health, 

Education, and Welfare and with Secretary of Defense Charles 

E. Wilson to reorganize the Department of Defense. Rockefeller was also involved with planning the “open skies” 

proposal made to the Soviets, which would have allowed the 

United States and Soviet Union open aerial reconnaissance of 

each other’s military bases if the Soviets had agreed. 

Divine, Robert A. Eisenhower and the ,Cold War. New York: 

Oxford University Press, 1981. 

This revisionist survey of the Eisenhower presidency’s 

foreign policy identifies the president, not John Foster Dulles, 

as its architect and commends Eisenhower for it. Divine offers 

no deep analysis, just a light, easy-to-read appraisal.

Donovan, Robert J. Confidential. Secretary: Am Whitman’s 

Twenty Years With Eisenhower and Rockefeller. ‘New 

York: Dutton, 1988. 

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.” 

-- Eisenhower: The Inside Story. New York: Harper, 1956. 

Robert Donovan, the Washington correspondent for The 

New York Herald ‘P&me, 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% 

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. 

Dougherty, Russell E. “What Ike Really Said.” Air Form 

Magazine 66 (October 1983):29 - 3 1. 

In his farewell speech to the American people in January 

1961, Eisenhower used the term ““the military-industrial complex.” In use, the term came to represent something evil -far 

different than Eisenhower’s original intent. Dougherty, publisher of Air Fwce Magazine, points this out and reprints the 

complete farewell speech to correct the misinterpretation. The 

farewell is as timely in 1990 as when it was given nearly thirty 

years ago.

Drummond, Roscoe, and Gastro Coblenz. Duel at the Brink 

John Foster Dulles” Comnand of American Power. Garden city, NY: Doubleday, 1960. 

This book examines Dulles’ years as secretary of state 

(1953 - 59) when he was respansible for the conduct of 

American foreign relations and the creation of foreign policy. 

Veteran correspondents Drummond and Coblenz interviewed 

more than fifty present and past foreign heads of state and 

other officials to obtain candid views of their dealings with 

Dulles. The result is an objective and often shrewd survey that 

does not neglect Dulles” shorteomings.

Duram, James. A Moderate Among Extremists: Dwight D. 

Eisenhower and the School Desegregation Crisis. 

Chicago, IL: Nelson-Hall, 1981. 

Duram, professor of history at Wichita State University, 

divides his book into four parts. First, he describes the evolution of desegregation cases from before the Civil War to the 

Supreme Court decisions of 1954-55. Then, Duram considers 

Eisenhower’s general philosophy of government and his 

specific attitudes toward the crises in Little Rock, Arkansas, 

and on the 1957 civil rights legislation. The third section 

studies the effects of integration on federal aid to education, 

and in the last part, Duram offers a number of, conclusions 

about Eisenhower and civil rights events during his administration. Duram concludes that, because of Eisenhower’s beliefs, 

he contributed Iittle to the advance of civil rights. Reviews of 

this book were not particularly good, mostly because of the 

writing style. 

The Eisenhower Administration Projkt: Oral History, 1962 - 

1972. New York: Columbia University, 1962 - 72. 

Beginning in 1962, Columbia University sponsored a 

project to gather the recollections of all persons who played 

major roles in the Eisenhower administration, as well as those 

of observers and others. Participants included Eisenhower, 

members of his family, members of the White House staff, 

cabinet members, journalists, members of Congress, presiden- 
51 

tial advisers from all fields, and so on. In addition, the collection includes twelve memoirs donated to the project by Herbert S. Parmet, who obtained them while researching for his 

book, Eisenhower and the American Gus&es, and sixty-eight 

from the Eisenhower Library under an exchange agreement. 

Among the numerous participants are Elie Abel, Sherman 

Adams, Ezra Taft Benson, Omar N. Bradley, Mark W, Clark, 

Thomas E. Dewey, James M. Gavin, and Andrew J. Coodpaster. The transcripts of the memoirs total 35,695 leaves, with 

many of the memoirs having restricted access. The Library of 

Congress has cataloged many of the memoirs under the 

individuals’ names, and entries are listed in the OCLC (Online 

Computer Library Center) system. A large portion of the 

project has been microfilmed and may be purchased from the 

Meckler Corporation of Westport, Connecticut. 

Ewald, William Bragg. Eisenhower the President: Crucial 

Days, 1951- 1960. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, 

1981. 

Ewald served on Eisenhower’s staff as a speech writer and 

in the 1960s helped Ike prepare his two-volume work, The 

u3zite &use Years. This revealing study dismisses the image of 

Eisenhower as a golf-loving, relaxed president and depicts him 

as a formidable, intelligent leader who was a master organizer 

and who effectively used the organization he created in a critical period between the Korean and Vietnam Wars. 

-* Who Killed Joe McCarthy? New York: Simon and 

Schuster, 1984. 

This book describes Senator McCarthy’s investigation of 

suspected Communist espionage at the Army installation at 

Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, and how McCarthy was exposed 

in a deliberate lie. Ewald contends that President Eisenhower 

was deeply involved behind the scenes in the move to defeat 
52 

McCarthy but left the public side of that defeat to McCarthy’s 

Senate colleagues. 

Fall, Bernard B. Hell in a Very Small Place: The Siege of Dien 

Bien Phu. Philadelphia, PA: Lippincott, 1967. 

Bernard Fall, a journalist and recognized author on Vietnam, was killed in Vietnam about the time this book first appeared. Using various sources, including secret French files 

and interviews of survivors from both sides of the siege, Fall 

constructs a dramatic and matter-of-fact record of the 56-day 

siege. Qf importance to this bibliography is his account of 

DulIes’ and Eisenhower’s reactions to the siege and the final 

refusal to help the French.

Along with his regular research for this book, Finer intervie,wed and corresponded with dozens of American and 

foreign participants involved in the diplomatic efforts to 

resolve the Suez crisis, He offers a study of the diplomatic 

strategy and tactics and confrontation of nations that occurred 

during the crisis and focuses on “the decisive effect of 

Secretary [of State] Dulles’ character and personality on the 

mighty world forces then in conflict,” He concludes that, if 

Eisenhower and someone other than Dulles had been involved, the result might have been different and better for 

US. national interests. 

Frier, David A. Conflict of Interest in the Eisenhower

Geelhoed, E. Bruce. Charles E. Mklson and Controversy at 

the Pentagon, 1953 to 1957. Detroit, MI: Wayne State 

University Press, 1979. 

When Eisenhower was elected president, Charles E. Wilson left a successful career as an executive with the General 

Motors Company to become secretary of defense (1953-57). 

Wilson was an active, often successful, and much embattled 

secretary. In this work, Geelhoed praises him for his successful 

management of Pentagon operations and his efforts to change 

the defense policy to one based on nuclear deterrence. That 

change led to problems with Congress after the Democrats 

took over in 19.54. Wilson also was a leading administration 

foe of Senator McCarthy. The blunt-spoken Wilson often was 

not tactful in his dealings with others and earned considerable 

attention from editorial cartoonists of the period, but Geelhoed concludes that Wilson did his job well.

Dulles’ career - especially of the foreign policy changes during 

the Eisenhower administration. He was the first biographer to 

use the Dulles papers at Princeton University, and he also 

interviewed Eisenhower and other contemporaries of Dulles. 

Goldman, Eric Frederick. The Crucial Decade: America,

This survey covers American political and historical 

events and life from the time of President Franklin D. 

Roosevelt’s death in 1945 to when Eisenhower was president 

in 1955. Material on Eisenhower begins on page 223 with the 

1952 election campaign getting under way. Goldman’s account 

of the Eisenhower administration mainly concerns its dealings 

with Senator McCarthy. He is very critical, for he feels Eisenhower dragged his feet until pushed too far. The book has no 

notes or bibliography. 

Goold-Adams, Richard. John Foster Dulles: A Reappraisal. 

New York: Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1962. 

A British journalist, Goold-Adams evaluates Secretary of 

State Dulles’ activities in Eisenhower’s first term, concentrating on his role as a Cold War crusader against communism, his 

conduct of relations with Great Britain, and his conduct of a 

neutral policy toward underdeveloped nations. He concludes 

that Dulles achieved more success in the first two areas than in 

the last.

From 1961 to 1963, Gordon worked in the. State 

Department’s Historical Office, where he wrote a draft report 

on the same subject as this article. A declassified version of 

that draft was the basis of this article, which is a history of the 

continuing crisis over Quemoy and Matsu that flared up in 

1954 and 1958 and how Eisenhower and Dulles astutely 

assessed events and deftly worked to keep from getting involved in a war. Gordon concludes that keeping the balance 

was a major achievement of Eisenhower’s administration.

Greenstein, Fred I, The Hidden Hand Presidency: EiGnhower 

as Leader. New York: Basic Books, 1982. 

In this book, Professor Greenstein rebuffs earlier assessments of Eisenhower as a do-nothing, complacent president 

who let the government run itself. Emphasizing Eisenhower’s 

leadership style, Greenstein portrays a shrewd political leader 

who succeeded because he dissembled and presented a public 

image of a relaxed, pleasant man, while in reality, he closely 

controlled events behind the scenes. One example of success 

that Greenstein cites was Ike’s carefully allowing Senator 

McCarthy just enough rope to hang himself. Greenstein based 

his book on correspondence, records of telephone conversations, oral history transcripts, and many other such sources in 

the Eisenhower Library. 

Griffith, Robert. “Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Corporate 

Commonwealth.” American Historical Review 87 

(February 1982):87 - 122. 

This long and complex article seeks first to identify and 

explore President Eisenhower’s concepts of the structure of 

society and especially the relationship of government and the 

economy. Having examined these ideas at length, Griffith then 

considers Eisenhower’s style of governing and how his 

philosophy and governing interacted with major issues of the 

presidency -McCarthyism, military affairs, civil rights, foreign 

trade, and foreign policy. In addition, Griffith identifies Ike’s 

successes and the problems he did not solve.

More rational in its view of McCarthy and his activities 

than Fred J. Cook’s 77ze Nightmare Decade, this study won the 

Turner Award as an outstanding manuscript in American 
56 

history: Griffith describes McCarthyism as a political 

phenomenon created by men hungry for power, Besides examining McCarthy, Griffith also analyzes senatorial politics 

and faults that legislative body for not getting McCarthy under 

control.

Guhin’s book traces the development of Dulles’ foreign 

policy thinking from his early experiences at the Paris Peace 

Conference in 1919. In examining Dulles’ activities as 

Eisenhower’s secretary of state from 1953 to 1959, Guhin 

describes the atmosphere of the 1950s and the constraints 

domestic politics and his office put on Dulles as he formulated 

and carried out foreign policy.

Press, 1989. 

Continuing a series begun in 1962, this volume covers the 

Atomic Energy Commission (ABC) during the Eisenhower 

presidency and provides a detailed view of commission policymaking and activities. Hewlett and Ho11 consider three main 

subjects. First is the contradictory roles of the ABC’s promoting Eisenhower’s call for peaceful use of nuclear power and 

then having to control the nuclear energy that could be used in 

atomic weapons. Second is the discussion of the AEC”s direction of nuclear testing and the failure to truthfully report the 

known dangers of fallout. Third and central to the other two 

topics is the authors’ consideration of Eisenhower’s major role 

in the formulation of U.S. nuclear policy.

Essays in this book attempt to interpret the entire milieu 

of the United States in the 1950s -a much different picture 

from the caricature of the “Silent Generation” and a constantly smiling, golf-playing president. The true picture is of a 

period of dynamic changes and of a reexamination of America, 

its people, and its mores by the people themselves. Crises in 

foreign policy, such as Suez and the conflict in Indochina; internal struggles over civil rights; the McCarthy investigations; 

and many other incidents were in the public eye. The last 

quarter of the book discusses Eisenhower himself and his administration and includes selections by Eisenhower, John 

Foster Dulles, Theodore Draper, and Roseoe Drummond, 

among others.

family’s wishes. When her husband became involved in 

Republican politics, she did tao and eventually became a national committeewoman. She was secretary of the 1952 

Republican Convention and became a celebrity when she was 

caught calling the roll for the presidential nomination with her 

shoes off. She helped Eisenhower during his campaign and 

then served in his administration as deputy administrator of 

the Federal Civil Defense Administration. She also served as 

the U.S. delegate to a NATO civil defense meeting in Paris.

in early 1954 after finding his views had become widely 
59 

separate from those of the president. In this book, Hughes 

shows the good points of the president’s character but also 

identifies what he believes were Eisenhower’s many unfulfilled 

opportunities to do great things.

editorial statements help place Humphrey’s statements in historical perspective. 

Immerman, Richard H. The CIA in Guatemala: The Foreign 

Policy of Intervention. Austin: University of Texas Press, 

1982. 

Qn 16 June 1954, a ragtag group of exiled Guatemalans 

and mercenaries, led by Guatemalan Colonel Carlos Enrique 

Castillo Armas, crossed the Guatemalan border and 

proclaimed a revolution against the government of President 

Arbenz. Radio stations broadcasting news of the revolution 

and airplane drops of noisemakers and other 

materials panicked the people and the government, and by 27 

June, President Arbenz had stepped down. The Eisenhower 

administration hailed the revolution as a return to democracy, 

and House hearings featured witnesses who told of Communist atrocities and plots. Actually, according to Immerman, 
60 

the revolution was a covert operation planned and supported 

at least in part by the Central Intelligence Agency. He also 

describes Guatemalan events from a revolution in 1944 to and 

through the covert and overt steps the Eisenhower administration took to overthrow Arbenz.

Dulles, and Dienbienphu: ‘The Day We Didn’t Go to

Recently declassified documents indicate that many of the 

statements made in memoirs and other records of the role the 

United States played during the 1954 crisis in French Indochina were unclear, misleading, or misinterpretations of 

what really happened. Immerman and Herring, using these 

documents to describe and clarify events during the crisis, 

reveal that the Eisenhower administration considered aiding 

the French and cautiously planned Operation United Action 

wherein a multinational coalition of forces (US., British, 

French, Australian, New Zealand, etc.) would intervene. 

French misunderstandings of US. commitments, British 

refusal to participate, growing American public and congressional opposition, and other problems all combined to derail 

the operation, and Eisenhower decided against intervention. 

Kaufman, Burton Ira. Trade and Aid: Eisenhower’s Foreign 

Economic Policy, 1953 - 1961. Baltimore, MD: Johns 

Hopkins University Press, 1981. 

In this book, Kaufman examines the effects of politics and 

economics on Eisenhower’s foreign trade policy toward the 

Third World. He shows a change in emphasis from trade to a 

combination of trade with aid to the deprived nations. As in 

other revisionist works, Eisenhower emerges as a talented and 
61 

confident leader. Kaufman’s focus is more on Washington 

decision making than on the impact of the policies overseas. 

Khrushchev, Nikita Sergeevich. Khrushchev in America. New 

York: Crosscurrents Press, 1960. 

An important event in Eisenhower’s presidency was 

Khrushchev’s visit to the United States in September 1959. In

made while on this tour. 

Killian, James Rhyne. Sputnik, Scientists, and Eisenhower: A 

Memoir of the First Special Assistant to the President for 

Science and TechnoIogy, Cambridge, MA MIT Press, 

1977. 

When President Eisenhower created the position of 

science adviser to the president, he offered it to James Killian 

who was then the president of the Massachusetts Institute of 

Technology. Killian uses his own memories and documents 

from the Eisenhower Library to describe activities in a period 

that included US. entry into space, the creation of NASA., and 

the continuing development of the intercontinental ballistic 

missile, Also discussed are the reopened talks with the Soviets 

on nuclear test limitations and arms control.

Kinnard’s article focuses on President Eisenhower’s 1955 

to 1959 interactions with Army Chief of Staff General Maxwell 

Taylor in formulating and adjusting strategic and budget 

decisions to complement each other. Kinnard concludes that 

Eisenhower’s policies greatly influenced, civil-military relations 

in the 1960s.

For the year and a half that Kistiakowsky was 

Eisenhower’s special assistant for science and technology, he 

kept a diary. What remains after the personal information and 

trivia were removed is a concise view of administration 

decision making on scientific subjects -especially technical 

weapons systems in that transition time for atomic weapons 

systems. Kistiakowsky describes meetings and participants 

clearly and frankly.

1971):18-24. 

In October 1961, Eisenhower spoke to the faculty and students of the Naval War College. Krone, an Air Force officer 

and student, recorded the remarks of the former president 

and, in this article, has emphasized the answers given to questions from the audience. Topics include the space race, Ike’s 

definition of the military-industrial complex, dissent in the 

military, strategy toward communism, leadership and responsibility, and coordination among allies.

New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1968. 

In this work, Arthur Larson, a close friend of and former 

speech writer for President Eisenhower and also director of 

the U.S. Information Agency, evaluates Eisenhower’s effectiveness as president. Larson concludes that Ike’s handling of 

foreign affairs was excellent but that he was not quite as 

capable in dealing with domestic matters. Larson emphasizes 

Ike’s basic and rigid rules of life that helped make him such an 

outstanding president.

Labor-Management Politics. Lexington: University Press 

of Kentucky, 1989. 

Under President Roosevelt’s New Deal administration of 

the 1930s the Wagner Act gave legitimacy and impetus to the 

formation and activities of labor unions. In the Truman era, 

public outcry over the multiple and crippling strikes that followed World War II caused the passage of the Taft-Hartley 

Act, which identified unfair labor practices. Then, congressional investigations, such as those of the McClellan Committee, exposed criminal activities in labor unions. The pro- 
64 

business Eisenhower administration and a coalition of conservative Republicans and Southern Democrats in Congress perceived a need for federal regulation of the internal affairs of labor unions and cooperated to achieve passage of the LandrumGriffin Bill. Lee’s book is a study of the successful role Eisenhower and members of his staff played in passage of the bill. 

Lodge, Henry Cabot. As It Was: An Inside View of Politics 

and Power in the ’50s and ’60s. New York: Norton, 1976. 

Henry Cabot Lodge, a career diplomat who served his 

country for many decades, was the U.S. representative to the 

United Nations during the Eisenhower administration. This 

book, which covers the period from 1952 to 1966, contains correspondence, recollections of conversations held, and reminiscences arranged chronologically. Of interest to users of this 

bibliography are Lodge? accounts of his role in the transfer of 

power from Truman to Eisenhower, the Suez and Hungarian 

crises, his work as a UN ambassador, and his role ‘in the 1956 

election. Memoranda and other items in the book reveal an 

Eisenhower who could be eloquent when he chose to be. 

Love, Kenneth. Suez, the Twice-Fought War: A History. New 

York: McGraw-Hill, 1969. 

Kenneth Love served as a New York Times correspondent 

in the Middle East from 1953 to 1956 and then in London 

until 1959. He combined what he learned and witnessed as a 

journalist with extensive research in archives of all the 

countries involved in the Suez crisis (except the Soviet Union) 

and produced an entertaining analytical record of the events 

before, during, and after the 1956 Suez intervention. Love 

presents the role of the United States in the affair and is more 

balanced than other writers in his consideration of John Foster 

Dulles’ role. He praises Eisenhower and identifies him as 

mainly responsible for ending the intervention

desires of the people. 

Magraw, Katherine. “Teller and the ‘Clean Bomb’ Episode.” 

B.ulletin of the Atomic Scientists 44 (May 1988):32, 34- 

37. 

Edward Teller, a prominent nuclear weapons designer, 

was one of several leaders in his field who convinced President 

Reagan that his administration should support development of 

the controversial Star Wars laser weapons system. At a September 1987 meeting, Teller was asked if his support for a 

“clean nuclear bomb” thirty years before had any parallels 

with the Star Wars project. Teller indignantly denied any such 

possibility. Katherine Magraw believes there are comparisons 

as well as differences, and in this article, she describes the 

June 19.57 events when Teller and others sought to convince 

Eisenhower not to talk to the Soviets about a moratorium on 

nuclear tests but to continue tests while the United States 

developed a so-called ‘“clean” bomb with little fallout. Eisenhower did not approve the idea, but it stayed around for the 

next six years under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. Teller 

and his associates never did develop the “clean” bomb.

South Asia: Making a Military Commitment to Pakistan, 

1947 - 1954.” Journal of American History 75 (December 

1988)&12-40. 
66 

As the Cold War worsened in the late 1940s and 195Os, 

the United States created a global foreign policy based on a 

series of military and political alliances aimed at containing 

Soviet influence. Under President Truman, the policy focused 

first on Europe, then on Korea, and finally on a deteriorating 

situation in the Middle East. The Eisenhower administration 

continued that policy. McMahon’s article describes how Pakistan, like some other peripheral, nonaligned nations, used EastWest tensions to obtain military and other aid by concluding 

mutual defense agreements with the United States. McMahon 

believes the alliance was a matter of Pakistan getting what it 

wanted at U.S. expense. How Pakistan maneuvered the United 

States into granting aid is an interesting tale.

Eisenhower: American Foreign Policy in the 1950s. 

Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1987. 

Reconsideration of Eisenhower’s capabilities as president 

has been under way since the late 1960s when declassification 

of numerous sources began. Based on research in such 

sources, essays in this book discuss such topics as U.S. relations with Latin America, efforts for arms control, U.S. relations with China and the Soviet Union, and the decision 

against intervention in Indochina in 1954. 

Meyer, Gail E. Egypt and the United States: The Formative 

Years. Rutherford, NJ: Fairleigh Dickinson University 

Press, 1980. 

Meyer provides a detailed, well-written, and wellreviewed examination of relations between Egypt and the 

United States from 1952 to 1958. She traces the rise of Nasser 

and his ensuing relations with the Eisenhower administration, 

describing Nasser? requests for various types of aid and U.S. 

efforts to get Nasser to be more moderate toward Israel. Dis- 
67 

‘agreement, American denial of aid to the Aswan Dam project, 

and other events led Nasser to seek Soviet assistance, and that 

culminated in the Suez crisis of 1956. Meyer cites the Eisenhower administration for failing to reach an understanding 

with rising Arab nationalism. 

Miller, William J. Henry Cabot Lodge: A Biography. New 

York: Heineman, 1967. 

Lodge was Eisenhower’s representative to the United Nations from 1953 to 1960. Miller knew Lodge for nine years 

before writing this “authorized” but carefully researched biography. 

Morrow, Everett Frederic, Black Man in the White House: A 

Diary of the Eisenhower Years by the Administrative 

Officer for Special Projects, the White House, 1955- 

1961, New York: Coward-McCann, 1963. 

When President Eisenhower appointed Morrow as his administrative assistant on race and other minority problems, 

Morrow became the first Afro-American to fill an executive 

position on a presidential staff. His diary describes his daily 

‘activities, his interpretations of the administration and 

Republican attitudes toward civil rights, and his own increasing militancy.’ Morrow found a distinct coolness toward civil 

rights in influential areas of Eisenhower’s administration. 

Murphy, Robert Daniel. Diplomat Among Warriors. Garden 

City, NY: Doubleday & Co., 1964. 

After his World War II assignment as President 

Roosevelt’s special representative on Eisenhower’s staff, 

career diplomat Robert Murphy moved on to other assignments. In 1953, Secretary of State Dulles recalled Murphy 

from his post as the first U.S. postwar ambassador to Japan. 
68 

After temporary duty as head of the Office for UN Affairs in 

the State Department, Murphy became under secretary for 

political affairs, the third highest position in the State Department. He served in that position until his retirement near the 

end of the Eisenhower years. A significant part of his memoirs 

covers the years with the Eisenhower administration, including 

the coup in Guatemala, the 1956 Suez crisis, the 1958 intervention in Lebanon, and various relations with the Soviets. 

Neff, Donald. Warriors at Suez: Eisenhower Takes America 

Into the Middle East. New York: The Linden 

Press/Simon & Schuster, 1981. 

Neff”s book is a minutely detailed examination of the 

1956 Suez crisis and invasion of Egypt by French, British, and 

Israeli forces and American efforts to end the crisis. Also 

covered are all the LLspects of the diplomatic, economic, and 

military events that led to the intervention. Eisenhower, Dulles, and other administration officials are major players in the 

drama as it unfolds in Neff’s narrative. His is a revisionist 

interpretation of Eisenhower as a capable, shrewd, and highly 

intelligent leader who controlled and directed U.S. diplomatic 

activities as the crisis rose and abated-despite a heart attack 

and later surgery for ileitis. Neff concludes that Eisenhower’s 

stand against the intervention enabled the United States to 

emerge from the fray as a champion of national rights. It also 

meant that the United States would thereafter be involved in 

Middle Eastern affairs. 

Nelson, Anna Kasten. “The ‘Top of Policy Hill’: President 

Eisenhower and the National Security Council.” 

Diplomatic History 7 (Fall 1983):307 -26. 

As a presidential candidate, Eisenhower pledged to reorganize the National Security Council (NSC). Using newly 

released records from the Eisenhower Library, Anna Nelson 
69 

describes what was done and the NSC’s role in the importance 

Eisenhower placed on planning in his administration, Eisenhower persuaded Robert Cutler, a banker and campaign supporter, to reorganize the NSC as needed. Eisenhower had the 

council engaged in continuous contingency planning and discussions about issues, creating an atmosphere in which members offered opinions freely. In addition, he used formal NSC 

meetings, informal meetings with various members, and oval 

office gatherings as background for his decision making. Nelson uses NSC records-especially about the 1954 French crisis 

in Indochina-to illustrate Eisenhower’s decision-making 

process and his adept presidential management of foreign 

policy. 

Neustadt, Richard E. Alliance Politics. New York: Columbia 

University Press, 1930. 

The author describes British and US. relations during two 

crises -one being the 1956 Suez crisis during the Eisenhower 

administration. Neustadt carefully analyzes that crisis showing 

all the problems involved and how they were or were not 

resolved, 

Nixon, Richard M. Six Crises. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 

1962. 

Writing as former vice president and defeated presidential candidate, Nixon describes six critical events during his 

previous fourteen years in politics. Important crises for Nixon 

during the Eisenhower administration were Ike’s heart attack; 

facing a mob in Caracas, Venezuela; and the kitchen debate 

with Khrushchev.

-;960. 
70 

Nixon’s book is a compilation of material from his 

speeches, papers, press conferences, and other talks made as 

vice president after 1957. Reporters’ questions at press conferences and elsewhere were often provocative, and Nixon did 

not avoid answering them. Also included are many comments 

about personalities and events of the period. 

Path, Chester J., Jr., and Elmo Richardson. The Presidency of 

Dwight D. Eisenhower. Rev. ed. Lawrence: University 

Press of Kansas, January 1991. 

This is a revision and expansion of Richardson’s 1979 

work by the same title (also in this bibliography). Declassified 

records and other works on Eisenhower enabled Path to 

broaden Richardson’s discussion of national security policy, 

deepen the analysis of Eisenhower’s leadership qualities, and 

examine the effects of Eisenhower? decisions in many important areas. 

Parmet, Herbert S. Eisenhower and the American Crusades. 

New York: Macmillan, 1972. 

Parmet describes and analyzes Eisenhower’s major 

decisions, identifying him as a middle conservative who knew 

his convictions and was his own man as president. 

Parrish, W. W. “Interview With Eisenhower.“’ American Aviation 16 (1 September 1952)rlQ 12. 

Parrish interviewed presidential candidate Eisenhower at 

his headquarters in Denver’s Brown Palace Hotel. Topics 

covered in the two-page article include Eisenhower’s views on 

air power, his evaluation of Pentagon operations, cutting 

government waste, and the aircraft industry. 
Peeters, Paul. Massive Retaliation: The Policy and Its Critics. 

Chicago, IL: H. Regnery Co., published in cooperation 

with the Foundation for Foreign Affairs, 1959. 

In 1954, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles introduced 

the policy of massive retaliation against foreign powers that 

might dare to attack the United States and the free world. 

Peeters presents a painstaking analysis of the ‘policy and the 

debate over it between the Eisenhower administration and 

Democratic leaders. He defends the administration as using 

the only policy that would meet the harsh realities of the 

times. 

Potter, Charles E. Days of Shame. New York: CowardMcCann, 1965. 

Potter, a senator from Michigan who served on the 

Senate Government Operations Committee with Senators 

McCarthy, Dirksen, Mundt, McClellan, Symington, and Jackson, presents his views of events and how McCarthy was 

stopped, including Eisenhower’s opinions and actions. 

(Richard Rovere, “The Untold Story of McCarthy’s Fall,‘” .New 

York Review of Books, 28 October 1965:3 -5, tells how Potter 

was manipulated into opposing McCarthy, something Potter 

does not admit here. The Rovere article is, listed in ,the 

Bohanan bibliography published by the Eisenhower Library 

and is not listed in this bibliography.) 

Powers, Francis Gary, and Curt Gentry. Operation Overflight: 

The U-2 Spy Pilot Tells His Story for the First Time. New 

York: Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1970. 

Powers’ flight in the U-2 over Soviet territory and its 

resultant downing and capture occurred just before a summit 

conference and caused a major embarrassment and controversy for the Eisenhower administration. This autobiographical 
72 

description of the events gives a rare glimpse into the life of a 

spy and CIA operations in that period. 

Prina, L. Edgar. “Ike and the Navy.” Navy 12 (March 

1969):27 - 30. 

This article praises Eisenhower for his keen appreciation 

and support of sea power - especially during his presidency. 

Unlike Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, Eisenhower supported the construction of nuclear-powered submarines and 

surface vessels and the creation of the fleet ballistic missile - 

the Polaris. He also picked outstanding Navy leaders for highlevel positions, such as Admiral Arthur W. Radford as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and supported Vice Admiral 

H. G. Rickover, the Navy’s nuclear expert. Prina also relates a 

number of anecdotes involving Eisenhower and his relationships with Navy personnel. 

Pritchett, C. Herman Congress Versus the Supreme Court, 

1957 - 1960. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 

1961. 

During Eisenhower’s second term, the Supreme Court 

made a series of decisions that limited federal efforts to 

protect U.S. security from subversion. Since many Southern 

congressmen were already upset with the court’s 1954 decision 

against public school segregation, these decisions of 1957 -58 

only further inflamed them and drew allies to their side. As a 

result, there were serious but unsuccessful efforts in the 85th 

and 86th Congresses to muzzle the court. In this book, 

Pritchett crisply describes and explains the court cases and 

decisions and congressional actions. 

Pusey, Merlo 9. Eisenhower, the President. New York: Macmillan, 1956. 
73 

Pusey, a Pulitzer Prize winning author, records 

Eisenhower’s first term as president. Almost all reviewers 

agreed that this book was a serious appraisal of the presidency 

and thus above the level of traditional campaign literature. 

Rabe, Stephen G. Eisenhower and Latin America: The 

Foreign Policy of Anti-Communism. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1988. 

In writing this study, which is the most recent survey of 

Eisenhower’s Latin American policy, Rabe used standard 

secondary sources and new materials from the Eisenhower 

Library. 

“The Johnson (Eisenhower?) Doctrine for Latin 

-America.” Diplomatic History 9 (Winter 1985):95 - 100. 

In this brief article, Rabe compares the Eisenhower and 

Kennedy administrations’ Latin American covert operations 

(Guatemala in 1954 and the Bay of Pigs in 1961) with the 

Johnson administration’s invasion of the Dominican Republic 

in 1965. 

Radford, Arthur William. From Pearl Harbor to Vietnam: The 

Memoirs of Admiral Arthur W. Radford. Edited by 

Stephen Jurika, Jr. Stanford, CA: Hoover Institution 

Press, 1980. 

Radford’s recollections of his interactions and work with 

Eisenhower begin with chapter 22 of this book. While officially 

visiting Southeast Asia as commander in chief, Pacific, in late 

1952, Radford received word that President-Elect Eisenhower 

was en route to Korea and would like to meet with Radford. 

The two met in Iwo Jima, and Radford went to Korea at 

Eisenhower’s invitation, The following August, Radford was 

appointed to the first of his two terms as chairman of the Joint 
74 

Chiefs of Staff. The remainder of the autobiography deals with 

the administration’s involvement with the French crisis in Indochina, ending with events of the spring of 1954. Radford 

stopped writing in late 1972 and never resumed. Editor 

Stephen Jurika notes that Radford had arranged his papers 

(now in the Hoover Institution at Stanford, California) 

chronologically as if to continue writing. Radford died on 17 

August 1973. 

-- The Collected Writings of Arthur W. Radford, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, 2 ~01s. Washington, DC, 1957? 

As chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Radford 

was an active figure in Eisenhower’s administration. He was a 

hawk, and declassified records of National Security Council 

meetings attest to his stand in favor of using nuclear weapons 

against Communist China during the Quemoy-Matsu crises 

and of aiding the French in their struggles in Indochina. 

Volume 1 of the set covers 15 August 19.53 to 15 August 1955, 

and volume 2 covers 15 August 1955 to 15 August 1957. 

Reichard, Gary W. Politics as Usual: The Age of Truman and 

Eisenhower. Arlington Heights, IL: Harlan Davidson 

1988. 

This overview of the Truman and Eisenhower presidencies has no citations, but at the end of the book is a bibliographic essay of some length. Reichard claims that the period 

of some fifteen years following the end of World War II was a 

historically identifiable era in which both Truman and Eisenhower faced political deadlocks when the White House and 

Congress were controlled by opposite political parties. Thus, it 

was a time when both sides played politics. After 1954, Eisenhower began to steadily lose influence with the Democratic 

Congress and thus accomplished little. 
75 

-- Thee Reaffirmation of Republicanism: Eisenhower and 

the Eighty-Third Congress. Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, 1975. 

In this work, Reichard concentrates on the first two years 

of Eisenhower’s first term when Republicans controlled Congress. He analyzes the relationship between Eisenhower and 

Congress and identifies Eisenhower as an astute leader who 

increased presidential power. Reiehard emphasizes congressional action in the areas of foreign pohcy, welfare, finance 

and economics, and the development of natural resources. 

Richardson, Elmo. The Presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower, 

Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 1979. 

This volume reassesses the Eisenhower presidency, emphasizing Ike’s philosophies and how he played a personal and 

very definite role in policy-making. Richardson surveys major 

events of the presidency and analyzes the president’s actions, 

but he emphasizes the handling of civil rights issues. 

Rivero, Nicolas. Castro’s Cuba: An American Dilemma. 

Washington, DC: Luee, 1962. 

During Eisenhower’s second term, Fidel Castro led the 

rebels who overthrew the Fulgencio Batista dictatorship in 

Cuba and became the island nation’s leader. The American 

media first welcomed Castro to the United States as a hero 

and then rapidly changed its views as Castro turned Cuba into 

a Soviet satellite. Nicolas River0 was a Cuban who served in 

the Batista government and then defected to the Castro cause, 

serving as an information officer for the foreign ministry under 

Castro. He defected again when Castro turned to communism. 

In this work, he gives an eyewitness account of events, refuting 

the idea that the United States forced Castro to turn to the 

Communists for help and describing Castro’s subversive efforts 

in Venezuela.

Rostow, W. W. Europe After Stalin: Eisenhower’s Three Decisions of March 11, 1953. Ideas and Actions Series no. 3. 

Austin: University of Texas Press, 1982. 

A participant in the political events, Rostow claims in this 

book that, with Stalin dead, President Eisenhower could have 

eased relations with the Soviet Union, moved toward 

reunification of Germany, and ended the Korean War. But 

Rostow maintains that Eisenhower’s hesitancy in acting, the 

anti-Communist philosophies of John Foster Dulles and the 

Republican Party, and the State Department’s proposals for 

NATO policy all combined to negate the opportunity., 

-* Open Skies: Eisenhower’s Proposal of July 21, 1955. 

Ideas and Action Series no. 4. Austin: University of Texas 

Press, 1983. 

The United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union 

scheduled a summit conference in Geneva, Switzerland, in 

July 1955. A group of advisers led by Nelson Rockefeller and 

including Rostow developed proposals for Eisenhower to offer 

in Geneva. One called “‘Open Skies” suggested unilateral free 

aerial inspection of U.S. and Soviet territory. Eisenhower liked 

the proposal but laid it aside after Secretary of State Dulles 

objected strenuously. Then, in Geneva, Eisenhower inserted 

the proposal into his speech. The Soviets rejected the idea, but 

Eisenhower earned wide acclaim for his breakthrough effort. 

In this book, Rostow describes the events and the future effects of the proposal. 

Rourke, John T. “‘Marshall, Eisenhower, and the Military 

Mind,” Military Review 61 (February 1981):26 -32. 

The American public has long accepted the stereotype 

that military personnel should not serve as national 

policymakers because the “military mind” would demand 

military solutions to crises and other problems. Not so, says 
77 

Rourke. He cites the many presidents who had military careers 

yet exhibited no such tendencies while in office. Then, he compares the civilian careers of George C. Marshall and Dwight 

D. Eisenhower. As secretary of state and then secretary of 

defense, Marshall was the major voice for moderation in the 

militant Truman administration. Eisenhower’s eight years as 

president were full of international crises, yet he kept the 

United States out of war. In the end, Rourke suggests that 

Marshall’s and Eisenhower’s considerable military experience 

made them even more desirous of peace, for they knew only 

too well the limits of using military power and the human costs 

as well.

Saunders, Richard M. “Military Force in the Foreign Policy of 

the Eisenhower Presidency.” Political Science QuarterIy 

100 (Spring 1985):97 - 116. 

Saunders offers a lengthy analysis of President 

Eisenhower’s philosophies and reasoning on the possible use 

of U.S. military forces during the many crises that arose during 

his presidency. Saunders divides his article into three sections. 

First, he considers Eisenhower’s views of the world and his 

political opinions and then analyzes how Eisenhower’s extensive military experience gave him insights in interpreting 

proposals for actions in crises and identifying flaws or other 
78 

problems. The East section describes Eisenhower’s decisionmaking procedures and organization, including continuous 

contingency planning. In each section, Saunders uses extensive 

illustrations from the Indochina, Suez, Quemoy-Matsu, and 

Lebanon crises to support his statements 

Schick, John R. The Berlin Crisis, 1958- 1962. Philadelphia: 

University of Pennsylvania Press, 1971. 

Beginning in 1958, the United States and the Soviet 

Union engaged in a continuing confrontation over Berlin that 

resulted in the construction of the Berlin Wall. For this book, 

Schick, a research associate at the Washington Center of 

Foreign Policy Research and an analyst for the Center for 

Naval Analyses, used newspaper accounts, memoirs, and available official records to discuss the events, dangers of the confrontations, miscalculations made by both sides, and problems 

presented by a divided city. 

Schlesinger, Stephen, and Stephen Kinzer. Bitter Fruit: The 

Untold Story of the American Coup in Guatemala. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1982. 

Like Richard Immerman’s The CL4 in Guatemala, this 

work is a history of the United States’ role in the 1954 overthrow of the Guatemalan government, a role that primarily 

consisted of covert activities by the Central Intelligence Agency 

under the code name of Operation Success. Schlesinger and 

Kinzer provide detailed background history of Guatemala and 

its people and describe the successful overthrow of President 

Arbenz. They conclude that Operation Success should have 

been called Operation Disaster since it served as a model for 

numerous future unsuccessful actions such as the Bay of Pigs.

Slater, Ellis D. The Ike I Knew, Material collected by Ernestine 

Durr. Edited and typed by Elsie Maki. N.p,: The Ellis D. 

Slater Trust, 1980. 

Ellis Slater was a World War I veteran and chairman of 

the board of several companies. He first met Dwight Eisenhower in 1948 at the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, 

and the men found they had mutual interests. Slater’s home 

was in New York City, and while Ike was president of Columbia University, the two men and their wives formed a close 

friendship and enjoyed an active social life that continued until 

Ike’s death in 1969. Slater was an active supporter of 

Eisenhower’s presidential campaigns and was often at the 

White House. Both he and his wife kept personal diaries. This 

book contains entries from both diaries as well as correspondence exchanged with the Eisenhowers. The entries are arranged chronologically between 1950 and 1969. Historians 

Stephen Ambrose and Louis Galambos discovered the 

material, used it in their research, and influenced its publication. In the preface, they state that the book contains information on domestic and international affairs but is more important for its firsthand record of the Eisenhowers’ personal life 

during the presidency.

Spiller, Roger J. “Not War But Like War”: The American Intervention in Lebanon. Leavenworth Papers no, 3. Fort 

Leavenworth, .KS: Combat Studies Institute, United States 

Army Command and General Staff College, 1981. 

After the 1956 Suez crisis, the Western nations had praetieally no influence in the Middle East. Ties between Egypt 

and the Soviet Union heralded growing Communist aid to 

Middle Eastern countries, and in 1957, the Eisenhower administration responded with the <‘Eisenhower Doctrine.” This 

doctrine offered military and economic aid to countries that 

might face Communist-supported invasion or subversion, and 

Lebanon sought such assistance. A country of divided religious 

and ethnic groups, Lebanon faced a deteriorating political 

situation. Dr. Spiller’s study describes the complex political 

events and then presents and analyzes the planning and execution of the U.S. intervention in Lebanon. This operation, code 

named Bluebat, began on 15 July 1958 when a joint US. force 

from U.S. and European bases landed in Lebanon and began a 

102-day occupation.

Born in 1896, Strauss had a long and distinguished career 

as a government official, beginning as secretary to Herbert 

Hoover during World War I. Having been a member of the 

U.S. Atomic Energy Commission @EC) from 1946 to 1950, 

he became President Eisenhower’s special assistant on atomic 

energy matters in 1953 and served as chairman of the AEC 

from 1953 to 1958. From 1958 to 1959, he was secretary of

Tananbaum,, Duane A. “The Bricker Amendment Controversy: 

Its Origins and Eisenhower’s Role.” Diplomatic History 9 

(Winter 1985):73 - 93. 

In the late 1940s and early 1950s fears that various international treaties and agreements, such as a proposed UN 

covenant on human rights, might become law in the United 

States and affect government functions and citizens’ rights led 

the American Bar Association and U.S. Senator John Bricker 

(Republican, Ohio) and other legislators to propose constitutional amendments. Bricker’s amendment, as it went to Congress in 1954, said that treaties would not be in effect until 

approved by Congress and the forty-eight states and that all 

executive agreements would also have to be approved by Congress. The bill quickly won enormous support. But the Eisenhower administration opposed it. Eisenhower, his cabinet 

members, and other advisers recognized the damage such an 

amendment could do to normal federal government operations. Tananbaum’s article presents the background of the 

Bricker bill and describes how the Eisenhower administration 

worked to defeat the bill by one vote.

Tsou, Tang. The Embroilment Over Quemoy: Mao, Chiang, 

and Dulles. Salt Lake City: Institute of International 

Studies, University of Utah, 1959. 

Both Communist China and Chiang Kai-shek’s National 

Chinese government on Taiwan claimed the islands of 

Quemoy and Matsu, but Chiang’s forces held the islands. 

Communist artillery bombardment of the islands ended after 

several months of political and military posturing by both 

sides. Again in August 1958, the Communists intensified bombardment and successfully blockaded sea supply routes to 

Nationalist forces until U.S. escorts of Taiwanese supply ships 

and Secretary of State Dulles’ political “brinksmanship” 

provided another stalemate. Tsou’s 47-page pamphlet analyzes 

the crises and describes the strategy and tactics of Mao Tsetung, Chiang Kai-shek, and the Eisenhower administration and 

the events as they unfolded.

period and how those attitudes affected the Cuban policies of 

the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations. 

Wise, David, and Thomas B. Ross, The U-2 Affair. New York: 

Random House, 1962. 

When the Soviets shot down the American U-2 reconnaissance plane on 1 May 1960 and captured its pilot, Gary 

Powers, the event brought great embarrassment to the Eisenhower administration. David Wise, White House correspondent for The New York Herald Tribune, and Thomas Ross, 

reporter of congressional and Pentagon affairs for 13ze Chicago 

Sun-Times, collaborated in describing the episode from the 

downing of the plane, through Powers’ trial, to his exchange 

for Rudolf Abel, a convicted Soviet spy.

Wolk, C. J. “The Military Industrial Complex in Perspective.” 

Marine Corps Gazette 5.5 (August 1971):36 -44. 

In his 1961 farewell address, President Eisenhower talked 

at length about what he called the military-industrial complex, 

attempting to indicate the need for a balance in national objectives, Almost immediately, his term was used out of context 

until its meaning became twisted and controversial in the vernacular of the 1960s. Wolk defines the term as Eisenhower 

intended it and explains how American historical resistance to 

militarism contributed to the misunderstanding. Eisenhower’s 

comments and suggestions are as applicable today as they were 

thirty years ago.

Altman, Frances.@Dwight D. Eisenhower: Crusader for Peace. 

Minneapolis, MN: T. S. Denison, 1970. 

Altman’s biography covers Eisenhower’s entire life and is 

aimed at readers from the upper elementary grades through 

high school. Her style is not particularly exciting, but ‘she 

provides a well-balanced picture by emphasizing everyday 

events in his life and surroundings. 

Ambrose, Stephen E. Ike: Abilene to Berlin; The Life of 

Dwight D. Eisenhower From His Childhood in Abilene, 

Kansas, Through His Command of the Allied Forces in 

Europe in World War II. New York: Harper, 1973. 

Intended for grades seven through ten, Ambrose’s biography creates a colorful and admiring portrait of Eisenhower 

as a person and military officer. Ambrose does not hesitate to 
85 

describe Ike’s temper, mistakes, and other shortcomings and 

also carefully presents all the controversial aspects of 

Eisenhower’s relationships with Generals Montgomery and 

Patton. 

Archer, Jules. Battlefield President: Dwight D. Eisenhower. 

New York: J. Messner, 1967. 

Aimed at readers aged seven to nine, Archer’s biography 

emphasizes Eisenhower’s military career and presidency. 

Reviewers praised the book for its exciting description of 

Eisenhower’s early years and military career but criticized 

some of Archer’s attitudes about problems of the presidency. 

Beckhard, Arthur J. The Story of Dwight D. Eisenhower. New 

York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1956. 

Beckhard wrote this biography for a preteen and teenage 

audience. It covers Eisenhower from childhood to his election 

as president in 1952. 

Carpenter, AlIan, Dwight David Eisenhower: The Warring 

Peacemaker. Mighty Warriors series. Vero Beach, FL: 

Rourke Publications, 1987. 

Written for readers in grades four through eight, the text 

is a little preachy in early descriptions of how his parents’ 

methods of child rearing instilled basic mores in young Ike. 

Eventually, however, the book gets moving, and there are 

plenty of human-interest anecdotes to spice up the narrative 

along with numerous color and’black and white photographs 

to further enhance it. Carpenter should have written more 

about the presidency, as he makes little mention of the many 

crises, but he does address some achievements and how 

historians’ interpretations of Eisenhower’s role as president 

have changed. 
86 

Darby, Jean. Dwight D. Eisenhower: A Man Called Ike. Minneapolis, MN: Lerner Publications, 1989.

which the questionable aspects of the presidency, such as the 

McCarthy controversy, are not ignored. 

Hargrove, Jim. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Encyclopedia of Presidents Series. Chicago, IL: Children’s Press, 1987. 

This biography is part of an encyclopedic set that many 

libraries put in their children’s-room reference section. The 

book begins with a chapter covering the Normandy invasion 

and then flashes back in succeeding chapters to cover 

Eisenhower’s full life in chronological order. To enliven the 

text, Hargrove uses many quotes from Eisenhower’s letters io 

Mamie and other primary sources. The reading level is for the 

upper elementary grades and high school. 

Hatch, Alden. Young Ike. New York: J. Messner, 1953. 

Emphasis in this biography, which is for elementary 

school readers, is on Eisenhower as a child and young adult.

the central character. Both preteen and teenage readers are 

the designated audience of the book. 

Moos, Malcolm Charles. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Landmark 

Books [no.] 106. New York: Randurn House, 1964. 
Moos, another of Eisenhower’s many speech writers, targets his biography for children ages ten to fourteen. He covers 

the time from Ike’s West Point years through his second term 

as president and does not avoid discussing events such as the 

Adams-Goldfine affair or the U-2 incident. 

Sandberg, Peter Lars. Dwight D. Eisenhower. World LeaderFast and Present Series. New York: Chelsea House, 1986. 

This book is one of a large series -of well-reviewed and

is warm and human.

Weyandt, Dorothy E. I Was a Guide for Three U.S. Presidents: As Taken From the,Log of a Famous Brule Guide, 

Steve Weyarrd I. Brule, WI: Weyandt, 1976.

miles northward into Lake Superior. Originally the habitat of 

brook trout, it also became the home for the rainbow and 

German brown trout introduced early in this century. Frequent railroad service to the town of Brule attracted. fishermen 

from many areas of the country, including five presidents. 

Born in Brule in 1905, Steve Weyandt became a fishing guide 

at the age of fifteen and guided Calvin Coolidge, Herbert 

Hoover, and Dwight Eisenhower among others. The last chapter of this record describes General Eisenhower’s visit to 

Brule in the fall of 1952 and the experiences the two men had 

night fishing for trout. There is no political or military information here, just the experiences of two dedicated fishermen.
