he examines eisenhower. tells people in the white house we'll be lucky if he lives long enough to complete his first term. there was no question in his mind that if eisenhower was lucky enough to survive that he would retire and live a very quiet life beginning in 1956. you know, the problem was eisenhower liked being president. mrs. eisenhower liked being first lady. there were a whole bunch of eisenhower friends, cronies. and they wanted to keep them. so what actually happens is both a fascinating story and a scandal. the political people beat up on paul dudley white so badly he signs a public letter stating the polar opposite of what he believes. he signs a public letter saying that eisenhower is a good candidate for a second term in the white house. there is another problem that all the tv reporters were pretty aggressive and they sure wanted to know a lot about eisenhower's health and they were steicking their noses in all sorts of places the white house did not want them to be. fortunately, eisenhower

his threeap with trips to see eisenhower. 1953, same trip. he sees eisenhower in new york. he begins to rekindle the wartime links, which may have been stronger in churchill's mind. if you follow events over the coming years, that seems to be the point. in 1954, on his second visit, and shortly before he left downing street, churchill tries to set up ao agree summit meeting with the soviets. eisenhower was not having any of it. part of that, i think, was john foster dulles. quote, the wonderful dullest.ler, , and ike wasessed not having a summit meeting. the american government was not convinced this was the time. they thought it might be perceived as a sign of weakness. it was not time. biggest perhaps the settlement, that is understating professionalill's life after the war that he cannot get that summit meeting. and that the summit meeting would take place after he has left downing street. his last visit to see eisenhower is in 1959. churchill is of course retired. he visits here and at eisenhower's farm in gettysburg. the overlook some of the famous battle scenes in the

and despite the fact that dwight eisenhower was president when we overthrew, i think that eisenhower came closer to getting it right than any other president. eisenhower believed that we needed to find some way to have -- have a modicum of relations with the arab world. eisenhower was quite red about a commitment to israel that would undermine the possibility of having decent relations with the arab world. and certainly eisenhower as a matter of principle was exceedingly hesitant about using american military power not simply in the middle east but anywhere else. eisenhower believed that war with really should be a last resort that has tended not took the case. with more recent presence. >> hanukkah in pennsylvania, hanukkah you're on booktv. we're listening. >> hi, good evening as largest arm dealers in the world how can we direct our military support that influences three large entities -- [inaudible] without imposing our own interest and helping to create a potential collapse of the entire middle east? >> well, it's a great question. and i -- i think i agree with the premise of th

the president who particularly did that was dwight eisenhower. dean edward smith, a pulitzer finalist, was my biographer for my book. one example of how he played hardball -- the year was 1956. it was one week before the november presidential election. eisenhower was basically finishing his first term and one week later he would be elected for his second term. all of a sudden, great britain, france, and israel joined forces and invaded egypt and seized the suez canal, and they did it knowing that eisenhower was opposed to their doing this but they did it anyway and they thought they could get away with it because they thought when we before the election, eisenhower did not want to lose the jewish vote -- they thought he would not respond and they were wrong. as it happened, eisenhower picked up the phone, called his secretary of treasury and said, i want you to purchase all the british pounds. i want you to make a run on the british pound. once he had done that, eisenhower picked up the phone and called the british prime minister and he said, if

i saw this developed in the eisenhower years. greatsenhower, being the man he was, had a healthy distrust of "military intelligence." and he always wanted to double check everything. and this is true of resident nixon. he goes over everything. whether it is vietnam and i think his predecessors had a difficulty because they took at face value what they hear at briefings. that theyould guess are. information, the president demands accuracy. he prepares for a difficult decision. a plan involves two curtail the turkish opium crisis. it is worth $50 million this year, if that is what it costs. there may be social problems or political problems. my guess is that $50 million would do it. pay $50will do the job, million. poppy, frome opium which heroine is made, is grown in turkey. it represents by far the most significant breakthrough with what has been achieved with stopping the supply of heroin and in our worldwide offensive against dangerous drugs. >> the cultivation of the poppy is expected to end within the year. it presidential de

eisenhower was a military wife, how did that affect her time as first lady? >> she was so aware of the needs of it, she continued and billed these regular functions, the annual garden party at the white house for the military, she continued that, she was an advocate for members of the military. understanding what their special needs were, i would say in terms of depth of work, i wasn't really able to find as much with her opinion which is a little surprising given her long history as a military wife. >> she was never happier, she and the president -- never happier, when some old military buddies came up to sit on the roof -- there's a little terrace over the roof and cook steaks on a bbq pit. have a couple bourbons and a good salad and have dinger and talk. that was their idea of the best time. it was eisenhower who started having those huge dinners at the white house, largely men. that was fine. but mrs. eisenhower and he, that's what they enjoyed was that -- having their old pals from years and years. they lived in 37 different houses before the white house
