"This book looks at the political career of Dwight D. Eisenhower (1952-1961), including his decision to run for president, his 'Middle Way' political philosophy, his 'New Look' national security policy, the 'domino theory' and the French Indochina War, McCarthyism, the Little Rock desegregation crisis, the Sputnik crisis, and the Farewell Address"--

Despite the Republicans' commitment to limited government, free enterprise, and individual initiative, Eisenhower and his fellow liberals recognized that the federal government had to intervene in order to preserve the United States' founding principles.
