S2526 Eisenhower Keeps the Nation on Course

Class | This class is completed

Generals do not necessarily make good presidents. Imagine Patton as President! However, Eisenhower's command responsibilities — a multi-nation coalition — provided excellent training for governing a diverse nation. During his eight years in office, his popularity remained at near-record highs. Maybe he was lucky; post-war Americans relished his "hidden hand" style of leadership. Would it work today?
