this website was a Biography about Dwight Eisenhower. the website talks about his whole life store, like from when the time he was born, to the time he died. also it talks about how he was a great football player and how got him into west piont.
"The West Point years were formative ones for Eisenhower. He learned to endure the pressures and indignities of the Plebe year; and, in turn, discovered his own acute distaste for the hazing he was expected to inflict upon others in his Yearling year. On the football field, Eisenhower experienced the exultation of stardom and crushing disappointment when a series of knee injuries brought his glory days to an abrupt and painful end. In bitter reaction, Dwight Eisenhower smoked too much, studied too little, and accumulated an impressive list of demerits. Despite this setback, Eisenhower emerged as a natural leader, serving as junior varsity football coach and yell leader. And, even though he did not apply himself academically at West Point, Eisenhower still managed to graduate in the upper half of his class in 1915, the one that would be later known as the class "The Stars Fell On."

this book is about Eisenhower's progress from novice to master in the use of military intelligence in World War II, wherein the supreme commander made skillful use of information and deception in conduct of the war.
In this book, Ambrose examines Eisenhower's decision to stop U.S. forces at the Elbe River, thus allowing the Soviet Army to take Berlin. Considering why Ike made the decision and what the results were, Ambrose concludes, among other things, that even if the Americans had taken Berlin, they would have had to withdraw to other areas as previously agreed.

Eisenhower's Farewell Address to the Nation

this website is Eisenhower farewell address to the nation when he was leaving the white house.
this is the beginning of the letter "Good evening, my fellow Americans: First, I should like to express my gratitude to the radio and television networks for the opportunity they have given me over the years to bring reports and messages to our nation. My special thanks go to them for the opportunity of addressing you this evening."
rough draft.
Dwight Eisenhower
"Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion." These words came from Dwight Eisenhower to describe what America has gone through and where we are now. Eisenhower was born on October 14, 1890 in Denison, Texas. He was the third of seven sons. Eisenhower was a great football player, which landed him in West Point. While stationed in Texas, he met Mamie Geneva Doud, whom he married in 1916.
Eisenhower enrolled at the United States Military Academy at
West Point in June 1911. Eisenhower graduated in 1915. He served with the
Infantry until 1918 at various camps in Texas and Georgia. During
World War I, Eisenhower became the #3 leader of the new tank corps and
Rose to temporary (Bvt.) Lieutenant Colonel in the National Army. In his early
Army career, he excelled in staff assignments, serving under Generals
John J. Pershing, Douglas Macarthur, and Walter Krueger. After Pearl Harbor,
General George C. Marshall called him to Washington for a war plans assignment.
He commanded the Allied Forces landing in North Africa in November 1942; on
D-Day, 1944, he was Supreme Commander of the troops invading France.
Eisenhower has great military back round. He knew how to use
Weaknesses as strengths. What ever was he’s strengths, he used it the right the way
Before he left office in January 1961, he urged the necessity of maintaining an
adequate military strength, but cautioned Those vast, long-continued military
expenditures could breed potential dangers to our way of life. June 6, 1944, D-day, was the
beginning of the end for the war in Europe. Eisenhower was promoted to the rank
General of the Army (5 stars) in December of that year. When Germany surrendered in
May 1945, Eisenhower was appointed Military Governor, US Occupied Zone. By then,
Dwight D. Eisenhower was an international celebrity; he had earned the respect,
admiration, and affection of people around the world. Allied victory in Europe
culminated in joyous exhaustion. Eisenhower quickly became the centerpiece of speeches,
grand parades, and throngs of admirers as grateful nations throughout Europe honored
him.
In June of 1945, Eisenhower returned to a hometown hero's welcome in Abilene, where
the citizens honored him, as they had no other hometown hero. Dwight Eisenhower was
elected the 34th President* of the United States on November 4, 1952. Four years
later, he was reelected to a second term by an even wider margin.
"Peace and Prosperity" became the watchwords of the Eisenhower years. Ending the war in Korea was only the first of many foreign policy challenges Eisenhower faced throughout his presidency. Other Cold War crises erupted in Lebanon, Suez, Berlin, Hungary, the Taiwan Straits, and Cuba. When confronted with possible US military intervention in Vietnam after the defeat of the French colonials, Eisenhower declined to involve the United States. Throughout his presidency, he worked hard to contain communism and, at the same time, was vigorous in his efforts to forge improved relations with the Soviet Union. When an American U-2 reconnaissance plane was shot down over Soviet territory, his hopes for détente, during his watch, were dashed. Although criticized by some historians for a lack of leadership on racial issues, President Eisenhower supported and signed the 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights Acts, and ordered federal troops to Little Rock to enforce the desegregation of Central High School. Likewise, his decision to work behind the scenes to defeat Senator Joseph McCarthy, rather than confront his excesses directly, engendered the criticism of many. Eisenhower argued that to lower himself to the same level as McCarthy might confer upon the Senator a significance that would only enhance McCarthy's credibility.
Americans enjoyed a strong, expanding economy under Eisenhower, demonstrated by solid economic growth
