Items related to Eisenhower's Bluff
Half a century after President Eisenhower, nuclear wreckage of the world is once again discussed due to the unstoppable proliferation of nuclear arms. In addition, the garrison state in which every citizen is monitored appears to be the direction of modern government. Using his formidable knowledge gained while winning World War II, President Eisenhower effectively rebuffed these developments with peaceful means during his presidency (1953 - 1961), and after when he advised John F. Kennedy how to manage the Cuba crisis. During his time in office, Eisenhower developed the special relationship with Prime Ministers Winston Churchill (to whom he had to shout at the top his lungs over the phone, and who had predicted Eisenhower would be a war-monger as president) and more warmly with Harold Macmillan, who was horrified that it would take only eight nuclear bombs to spell the end of Britain. Based on newly declassified information, including Eisenhower s secret medical and secretarial records, Thomas recreates for the first time in full the person who took decisions that influence us today.
