<p>Ike’s public image is frequently overshadowed by more attention-grabbing colleagues. Cases in point: General Patton his World War 2 subordinate; and JFK his successor as President of the United States of America.</p><p>But we reveal that there is far more to Ike than the myth of his being an uncharismatic conservative in everything he did.</p><p>We examine his rise from humble origins in Kansas. His loving family relationships - including a pacifist mother - that led to his concern for the wellbeing of those he was responsible for. His military education that gave him a vision of how to take the US Army into the 20th century.</p><p>Fate made him miss the fighting in World War 1 - a fact his critics often unfairly used against him - but military career prepared him to deal with complex personalities like Marshall Montgomery or Churchill and oversee vast operations.</p><p>We witness his immense responsibilities challenges and victories in the Second World War. We watch how he reluctantly became President and fought a Cold War and a Korean War.</p><p>We cut through the shifting fog of fashion clouding his reputation to deliver History’s Verdict on Dwight Eisenhower.</p>
