It shows a masterful president guiding the nation through the great crises of the 1950s. At home, he affirmed the central elements of the New Deal, fought the demagoguery of Senator Joseph McCarthy, and advanced the agenda of civil rights for Africans Americans. Abroad, he ended the Korean War, avoided a new quagmire in Vietnam, and charted a significant expansion of America's missile technology, while warning of the dangers of a powerful "military-industrial complex." Today, presidential historians rank Eisenhower fifth on the list of great presidents, and William I. Hitchcock shows us why. Eisenhower was a gifted leader for whom the welfare of the country always came first. Now more than ever, Americans have much to learn from his leadership. 10aEisenhower, Dwight D.q(Dwight David),d1890-1969xInfluence.14aEisenhower, Dwight D. q(Dwight David), d1890-1969 xInfluencia  0aUnited StatesxPolitics and governmenty1953-1961  4aEstados Unidos xPolítica y gobierno y1953-1961  0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsy1953-1961  4aEstados Unidos xRelaciones exteriores y1953-1961
