In the book, Dr. Wagner examines a series of defining moments that were among Eisenhower’s greatest challenges, some of which resulted in his greatest accomplishments: the decision to run for president, his political philosophy of the “Middle Way,” the creation of a national security policy, the French Indochina War, Senator Joseph McCarthy, the Little Rock Desegregation Crisis, the Race for Space, and the famous Farewell Address.

Dr. Wagner is also the author of “Eisenhower Republicanism: Pursuing the Middle Way.”

The new book will be featured in a series of stories on the NewsTalk KZRG Morning NewsWatch from Monday through Friday of this week (June 24 – 28th).
