During a career spanning World Wars I and II, development of nuclear weapons in the 1940s, and the frantic arms race of the 1950s, no one knew more about the power of the U.S. military and the industries that manufactured its weapons than Dwight Eisenhower. He steadily rose through the Army ranks until his appointment as Supreme Allied Commander of all forces in Europe in WWII, and then directed the operations which finally defeated the forces of Hitler and Mussolini. He resisted calls to run for president in 1948 and became President of Columbia University instead, hoping to promote “the American form of democracy” through education, and helped establish an institute to “study war as a tragic social phenomenon.”

In the first class on the first day of the first semester of my first year of college, wisdom itself spoke to me in the guise of a quirky, bald professor. Sociology 101, or so it would seem, typically sets the stall out for many a wannabe political theorist, but on this occasion, I was told that my generation would inherit the earth. Well … maybe not in so many words, but here’s the short version.
