"Ira Chernus has created one of the first detailed studies of the ideology and rhetoric of a U.S. leader in the formative years of the cold war, showing how words and ideas fostered a conservative culture of nationalism and fear. Eisenhower's use of language fulfilled consciously manipulative ends while also reflecting sincerely held ideas.

General Eisenhower: Ideology and Discourse reveals how one man helped construct the sense of national and global insecurity that pervaded American life for decades."--BOOK JACKET.
