Join Gettysburg College and the Eisenhower Institute in celebrating the release of Susan Eisenhower's new book, How Ike Led: The Principles Behind Eisenhower's Biggest Decisions.
Few people have made decisions as momentous as Dwight D. Eisenhower—from World War II to the early years of the Cold War. He was a man of character, a principled leader who embraced accountability and worked tirelessly to forge unity of purpose. How Ike Led shows us not just what a great American did, but why—and what we can learn from him today.
President Bob Iuliano hosts this special conversation with Susan Eisenhower, founder of the Eisenhower Institute and expert-in-residence.
Read about the connections between How Ike Led and Gettysburg College's mission to prepare the next generation of leaders and citizens.
I wanted my SALTT students, as well as College undergrads and rising generations, to know Eisenhower—not just his accomplishments as a leader. There were other vital elements he possessed, including character, focus and empathy. It has been a great privilege for me to interact with my Gettysburg students and, in the context of my new book, I believe that Ike has a lot to say to them.” – Susan Eisenhower
