Eisenhower Years: A Mixed Record of Peace and Challenge
An evaluative note by John M. Hightower surveys Dwight D. Eisenhower’s presidency from 1953 to the late 1950s. It weighs his restraint in Cold War crises against failures in Korea and Hungary, highlights Dulles’ policies, and notes shifts in Congress, diplomatic efforts, and the creation of alliances like CENTO and SEATO. It also covers the U2 incident and summit ambitions with Khrushchev.
