From D-Day to Little Rock, from the Korean War to Cold War crises, from the Red Scare to the Missile Gap controversies. The principles behind Eisenhower’s biggest decisions will be shared to show he was able to give our country eight years of peace and prosperity by relying on a core set of principles.
