Description
The Age of Eisenhower tells the story of a masterful president guiding the nation through the great crises of the 1950s, from McCarthyism and the Korean War through civil rights turmoil and Cold War conflicts. Today, presidential historians rank Eisenhower fifth on the list of great presidents. He is also noted as a gifted leader and a decent man of humble origins who used his powers to advance the welfare of all Americans.
