For Julia Marie, James, and Monica
May you grow up in a world where ... peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportu nity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will understand, also, its heavy responsibilities; that all who are insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guar anteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love. Dwight D. Eisenhower January 17, 1961

Introduction
Martin J. Medhurst
Dwight D. Eisenhower was a warrior. Behind the broad smile and twinkling blue eyes, behind the upraised arms and immense personal magnetism lurked a Cold War strategist of the first order. To understand anything about President Eisenhower, one must keep constantly in mind that he was firstand lastGeneral Eisenhower. Neither with the end of World War II nor with his election to the presidency did Eisenhower ever cease to think and act like the military man he was trained to be. From the years immediately following his graduation from West Point in 1915, to his brilliant performance at the Command and General Staff School in 1925, to his historic rout of the Second Army during the Louisiana maneuvers of 1941, Eisenhower built his career as a strategist and tactician. That the majority of those years from 1915 to 1941 were spent in staff positions where he worked for such notables as Fox Connor, John J. Pershing, and Douglas MacArthur should not obscure the fact that Ike was trained as a warrior, not a paper pusher. When war came, Ike was ready to wage it and to employ any and all tools at his disposal, including psychological warfare, black propaganda, and deception.
