Oral Histories: John Eisenhower
Saturday

These are unedited excerpts from a 1995 conversation with President Eisenhower’s son, John. A retired U.S. Army Brigadier General, he talks about his father’s role as Supreme Allied Commander Europe.

Independent producer George Colburn conducted this interview as part of a documentary series on Dwight D. Eisenhower’s military and political career – a period covering from 1941 to 1961. His latest project – “Eisenhower’s Secret War” – debuts on public television stations nation-wide in May.
