EAST BAY CHAPTER Learning from Ike's Foreign Policy Legacy

3-4-12 EB Chapter event image

Although the United States faces difficult economic and foreign policy issues right now, during the 1950's far starker fears were faced, with the onset of the nuclear age, a hostile and powerful Communist bloc, a still economically devastated Europe, and a population boom worldwide that looked like it would outrun our resources. President Eisenhower, supported by the good will he had generated at home and abroad through his extraordinary leadership during World War II, forged ahead with bi-partisan leadership and put the country over party to launch the interstate highway system, to end the Korean War, to defuse the Suez crisis, and to keep the lid on the simmering Cold War. Daniel Sharp, CEO of The Eisenhower Foundation, will discuss how that legacy might be applied to today's issues.

Price of program includes dinner. Pre-registration required by Tuesday, February 28.
