Dwight D. Eisenhower

Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower was a five star general in the United States Army and served as 34th President of the United States. During Second World War, he served as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe, with liability for planning and supervising the successful invasion of France and Germany in 1944–45, from the Western Front. In 1951, he became the first ultimate commander of NATO. He won by a landslide, defeating Democrat Adlai Stevenson and finish two decades of the New Deal Coalition holding the White House. Eisenhower fulfilled negotiations with China to end the Korean War. He maintained force on the Soviet Union during the Cold War, gave priority to inexpensive nuclear weapons and reduced the other forces to save money. Historians typically rank Eisenhower among the ten best U.S. presidents.
