Revision as of 17:29, 28 October 2007
General of the Army Dwight David Eisenhower ("Ike") (1890-1969) was an American soldier who fought in World War I, was a top commander in World War II, and served as the 34th president of the United States (1953-1961). During the war he first commanded Allied (British and American) troops in North Africa in 1942 and Italy 1943, then became the Supreme Commander of the forces that invaded Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944.
Eisenhower's political affiliations were unknown for many years and he was courted by both the Democratic and Republican parties. Eventually he declared for the Republicans and was elected to the presidency as a moderate Republican. His presidency was marked by the armistice in the Korean War, the construction of Interstate Highway System, the Eisenhower Doctrine of the Cold War, the passage of the first civil rights bill in 82 years, and moderate domestic policies known as "dynamic conservatism". Although a renowned military figure, at the end of his presidency, Eisenhower issued a famous warning to the American public about the dangers of the military-industrial complex.
1952 Presidential campaign
Part of Eisenhower's campaign was the catchy slogan--"I Like Ike"--an animated TV commercial was produced by Roy Disney and the Citizens for Eisenhower-Nixon. [1], as well as on pin-on buttons.
