The Eisenhower Presidency, 1953-1961

This volume in the Seminar Studies in History series provides an accessible and concise introduction to Eisenhower's presidency, covering both domestic and international affairs. Eisenhower's presidency marked an important stage in the evolution of modern America, but left a decidedly mixed legacy for future presidents and this book offers an up-to-date synthesis of this newly emerging literature. Richard V. Damms has produced clear, realistic and sensible volume that will take in both domestic and foreign policy - from the Civil Rights movement to the escalation of the arms race and the intensification of the Cold War. For those interested in post-war U.S. history.

Richard V Damms is an assistant Professor of History at Mississippi State University.
