Description: "The 34th president of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower won over Americans with his irresistible "I like Ike" slogan and brought to the presidency his prestige as a commanding general during World War II. Eisenhower worked diligently during his two terms to ease the tensions of the cold war. Pursuing the moderate policies of "modern Republicanism," he left a legacy of a stronger and more powerful nation." "The Eisenhower Years focuses on the administration of President Eisenhower and includes a section of more than 500 entries covering all the key personalities of the era. In addition, there is a chronology of contemporary events; a sizable appendix that includes important documents, such as inaugural addresses and presidential speeches; tables listing the members of the White House staff, cabinet members, members of Congress and the Senate; and more."--Jacket.
