Dwight Eisenhower

• The Making of a Leader: Dwight D. Eisenhower

For most of us, the more famous stories of Ike's life begin here: leading the Allied forces to victory in Europe, then himself serving as CSA, then becoming president of Columbia University, then serving as the first supreme commander of allied powers in Europe, and then finally being elected president of the United States. Today, even as it did at the turn of the last century, the Army moves its officers into varied jobs in diverse organizations across the globe, anticipating they will assess each unique situation in short order and act decisively, while gaining valuable experience for higher and more demanding assignments.
