Requests:  0 Summary:  Newly discovered and declassified documents make for a surprising and revealing portrait of the president we thought we knew. Belittled by his critics as the babysitter-in-chief, Eisenhower ground down Joseph McCarthy, stimulated the economy to lift it from recession, and turned an $8 billion deficit in 1953 into a $500 million surplus in 1960. The President Eisenhower of popular imagination is a benign figure, armed with a putter, a winning smile, and little else. The Eisenhower of veteran journalist Jim Newton's rendering is shrewd, sentimental, and tempestuous. Admired as a general, he was a champion of peace. In Korea and Vietnam, in Quemoy and Berlin, his generals urged him to wage nuclear war. Time and again he considered the idea and rejected it. And it was Eisenhower who appointed the liberal justices Earl Warren and William Brennan and who then called in the military to enforce desegregation in the schools.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.92109 Eisenhower Ne Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Biography Eisenhower Ne Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Biography B Eisenhower Ne Checked out 07/05/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Eisenhower Ne Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.92109 Eisenhower Ne Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
