Even before he was inaugurated Eisenhower accepted a request from the British government to restore the Shah to power. He therefore authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to help the Iranian army overthrow Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh (source wikipedia, See Further Below my opinion piece in blog “The Past if a Foreign Country” )

Eisenhower Visits Nazi Murder Mills – Concentration Camps Discovered (1945):

Ohrdruf was liberated on April 4, 1945, by the 4th Armored Division and the 89th Infantry Division. It was the first Nazi concentration camp liberated by the U.S. Army. When the soldiers of the 4th Armored Division entered the camp, they discovered piles of bodies, some covered with lime, and others partially incinerated on pyres. The ghastly nature of their discovery led General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, to visit the camp on April 12, with Generals George S. Patton and Omar Bradley.

Dwight D. Eisenhower introduces a scene in George Clooney’s film “Good Night and Good Luck” :

A riveting speech given by David Strathairn as Edward R. Murrow from the George Clooney film, ‘Good Night, And Good Luck’.


Dwight DavidIkeEisenhower (October 14, 1890 – March 28, 1969)was the 34th President of the United States, from 1953 until 1961. He was a five-star general in the United States Army. DuringWorld War II, he served as SupremeCommander of the Allied forces in Europe, with responsibility for planning and supervising the invasion of North Africa in Operation Torch in 1942-43and the successful invasion of France and Germany in 1944–45, from the Western Front.In 1951, he became the first supreme commander of NATO.

A Republican, Eisenhower entered the 1952 presidential race to counter the non-interventionism of Sen. Robert A. Taft, and to crusade against “Communism, Korea and corruption.” He won by alandslide, defeating Democrat Adlai Stevenson and endingtwo decades of the New DealCoalition holding the White House. As President,Eisenhower concluded negotiations with Chinato end the Korean War.His New Look,a policy of nuclear deterrence, gave priority to inexpensive nuclear weapons while reducing the funding for the other military forces to keep pressure onthe Soviet Union and reduce federal deficits at the same time. He began NASA to compete against the Soviet Union in the space race. Unusually for an American President, Eisenhower strongly andvery publicly opposed military moves by Israel, during the Suez Crisis. His intervention in the crisis saved the Egyptian dictator Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser from an Anglo-French invasion. In 1958 he sent 15,000 US troops to Lebanon to prevent the pro-Western government falling to a Nasser-inspired revolution. Near the end of his term, the Eisenhower Administration was embarrassed by the U-2 incident and was planning the Bay of Pigs Invasion.

On the domestic front, hecovertly helped remove Joseph McCarthy from power but otherwise left most political actions to his Vice President, Richard Nixon. He was amoderate conservative who continued the New Deal policies, and in fact enlarged the scope of Social Security,and signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. Though passive on civil rights at first, hesent federal troops to Little Rock,Arkansas, for the first time since Reconstruction, to enforce the US Supreme Court‘s ruling to desegregate public schools, and proposed civil rights legislation passed in 1957 and 1960 to protect the right to vote. He implemented desegregation of the armed forces in two years, and made several important appointments to the Supreme Court. He was the first term-limited president inaccordance with the 22nd Amendment.

Eisenhower’s two terms were mainly peaceful, and generally prosperous except for a sharp economic recession in 1958–59. Although public approval for his administration was comparatively low by the end of his term, his reputation improved over time. In recent surveys of historians, Eisenhower is often ranked as one of the top ten U.S.Presidents. He was the last President who was born in the 19th century. (More Here)
