President Dwight D. Eisenhower
FBI - CIA Files

1128 pages of Dwight D. Eisenhower FBI Files and CIA Files

Dwight D. Eisenhower was born in Denison, Texas in 1890, and was brought up in Abilene, Kansas. In his early Army career, after graduating from West Point, he excelled in staff assignments, serving under Generals John J. Pershing, Douglas MacArthur, and Walter Krueger. After Pearl Harbor, General George C. Marshall called him to Washington for a war plans assignment. He commanded the Allied Forces landing in North Africa in November 1942; on D-Day, 1944, he was the Supreme Commander of the troops invading France. Believing that military professionals should not be involved in politics, Eisenhower resisted overtures from both Republicans and Democrats, that he run for president in 1948. After the war, he became President of Columbia University. He later was given supreme command over the new NATO forces being assembled in 1951. Republican emissaries to his headquarters near Paris persuaded him to run for President in 1952. He won handily in that election and in 1956, each time defeating Democratic candidate Adlai Stevenson by a substantial margin. After serving two terms as president, Eisenhower retired to his farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where he wrote his memoirs, played golf and painted. He lived to see Richard Nixon elected president in 1968 and his grandson, David, marry Nixon's younger daughter, Julie. Dwight Eisenhower died in 1969.
