Ike –  A Biography of the Private Life Of A Great American

Very few Americans have ever had an impact on the world that could equal that of Dwight David Eisenhower.

Ike - World War IIHe did a brilliant job as commander of allied forces in World War II, despite having very limited combat experience. Click here to read a fascinating, little-known story about how General Eisenhower was prepared to take full responsibility if the D-Day invasion had failed

After serving ably as President of Columbia University and Supreme Commander of NATO, Dwight Eisenhower did a superb job as president of the United States of America, despite having no experience in politics whatsoever. After his retirement, he was still called on to advise his young successor, John F. Kennedy at moments of crisis.

Ike was one of the great Americans of all time. Eisenhower was widely admired and enormously respected by a public that really did not know him very well. Few Americans could tell you much about Ike’s parents, his brothers, his religious faith, his relationship to his wife and his children. Did you know that Dwight Eisenhower was a superb athlete who once tackled Jim Thorpe? Or that he was quietly one of the most religious presidents in the history of the USA?

This multimedia presentation will serve as a fascinating biography illuminating the private life of one of the most admired Americans of all time.
