Podcast appearances and mentions of Susan Eisenhower

Es el verano de 1982 y el espía de la KGB Oleg Gordievsky viaja desde Moscú para ocupar un puesto en la embajada soviética en Londres. Oriente y Occidente tienen una profunda desconfianza y desconocimiento mutuo, y como resultado, la Guerra Fría, que lleva ya casi 40 años, se está calentando. El juego del espionaje y la paranoia magnifican la sospecha entre las superpotencias, y una carrera armamentística amenaza con llevar al mundo al armagedón nuclear. Incluye entrevistas de archivo raramente escuchadas con Oleg Gordievsky y las cartas inéditas de Michael Bettaney, así como entrevistas con antiguos ayudantes de Margaret Thatcher y Ronald Reagan y antiguos oficiales de la KGB, el MI5 y el MI6, algunos de los cuales nunca antes habían hablado en público. Con la ayuda de Gordievsky, Gran Bretaña identifica a Mijail Gorbachov como un posible nuevo contendiente para líder soviético; podría ser el billete para mejorar las relaciones entre Oriente y Occidente. Pero los frágiles pasos hacia la diplomacia se ven amenazados por los intereses creados de otros espías que siguen atrapados en el viejo orden mundial. La CIA está decidida a descubrir quién es el superespía británico, pero su jefe de contrainteligencia soviética, Aldrich Ames, se está desilusionando. Se convierte en traidor por una suma insignificante y, poco después, Gordievsky es convocado de regreso a Rusia, donde corre un peligro casi seguro. El episodio incluye grabaciones de audio exclusivas de Aldrich Ames, entrevistas de audio de Oleg Gordievsky, entrevistas con ex oficiales de la KGB, el FBI, la CIA y el MI6, algunos de los cuales nunca habían hablado antes, así como colegas de Thatcher y Reagan. Es 1985 y Mijail Gorbachov es el nuevo y joven líder de la Unión Soviética en un momento muy tenso. Si bien ambos bandos tienen esperanzas de paz, han estado almacenando armas nucleares públicamente durante décadas. Ninguno de los dos lados quiere parecer débil. Thatcher y Reagan esperan que un nuevo liderazgo en el Kremlin ofrezca una oportunidad para un diálogo constructivo. El doble agente Oleg Gordievsky es fundamental en estas negociaciones, pero una repentina citación a Moscú por parte de sus jefes del KGB lo pone nervioso: ¿saben que está espiando en secreto para Gran Bretaña? Cuando llega a su apartamento de Moscú y descubre que se ha utilizado una cerradura que nunca gira, sus temores se confirman. Incluye grabaciones de audio exclusivas de Aldrich Ames, entrevistas de audio de Oleg Gordievsky y entrevistas con ex oficiales del KGB, la CIA, el FBI y el MI6, incluido uno de los oficiales del MI6 que rescató a Gordievsky. Otras entrevistas incluyen a colegas de Thatcher, Reagan y Gorbachov, y expertos con conexiones personales con la historia, como Susan Eisenhower y Nina Khrushcheva.

As we publish this, Congressional Republicans have just elected their new Speaker - a right-wing extremist who led the fight, which many consider seditious, to overthrow Joseph Biden's 2020 democratic election. So it's more astonishing than ever to revisit the presidency of Republican Dwight D. "Ike" Eisenhower. His granddaughter, Susan Eisenhower, describes some of Ike's visionary and controversial policies - which many if not most Republicans would likely oppose today.

Susan Eisenhower reflects on the legacy of her grandfather, former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in her 2020 book How Ike Led: The Principles Behind Eisenhower's Biggest Decisions.

Serving as Allied Commander during World War II and later as President of the United States, few people have made decisions as momentous and consequential as Dwight D. Eisenhower. Guided by his heritage and upbringing, as well as his strong character and his personal discipline, Eisenhower was a steadying force during some of the most tumultuous decades in human history. Susan Eisenhower discusses the life and legacy of her distinguished grandfather and what we can learn from him today.  Recorded on April 30, 2021

I've been wanting to have an episode in which we take a ‘big picture' look at Russia's invasion of Ukraine. However, there is so much analysis out there about the conflict that I wasn't sure if I could bring on the right guest who could be highly credible and offer a unique perspective, preferably steeped in a wider historical context. This is why I am so delighted to bring to you my conversation with Susan Eisenhower. Susan is the granddaughter of General and President Dwight Eisenhower. She wrote a critically-acclaimed book about her grandfather's leadership principles entitled How Ike Led: The Principles Behind Eisenhower's Biggest Decisions. She is also an expert on Russia-US relations, international security, energy, and space policy. She has served on numerous government task forces, is the Chair of Public Policy Programs at the Eisenhower Institute, and the founder of the Eisenhower Group, a consulting firm. So, she knows of what she speaks. This episode proceeds in two parts. In the first half, Susan covers General President Dwight Eisenhower's leadership principles, particularly how he made decisions. We focus on D-Day and when, as President, Ike looked at options to contain Soviet expansionism. These leadership and decision-making principles are not only fascinating, but they are also highly transferable. In the second half, we fast forward to the present and discuss Russia's war with Ukraine. Susan shares how we got here, a number of concerns she has, as well as the longer-term implications of the conflict. She also discusses decision-making in the context of nuclear war more broadly.

Editor's Note: This is a rebroadcast. It originally aired in September 2020.From guiding the Allies to victory in World War II as supreme commander, to steering the ship of state for eight years as one of the country's least partisan and most popular presidents, few leaders in history have had to make as varied and consequential decisions as Dwight D. Eisenhower.My guest today possesses insights into how he made the many choices he was faced with in his military and political careers that are gleaned not only from studying Ike's life, but from personally knowing the man beneath the mantle. Her name is Susan Eisenhower and she's a writer, consultant, and policy strategist, one of Dwight's four grandchildren, and the author of the new book How Ike Led: The Principles Behind Eisenhower's Biggest Decisions. Susan and I begin our conversation with her relationship with Ike as both historic leader and ordinary grandfather, and why she decided to write a book about his leadership style. We then dive into the principles of his leadership, beginning with his decision to greenlight the D-Day invasion, what it reveals about his iron-clad commitment to taking responsibility, and how that commitment allowed him to be such an effective delegator. From there Susan explains how a love of studying history born in Ike's boyhood allowed him to take a big picture approach to strategy, how he used a desk drawer to deal with his lifelong struggle with anger, and how his belief in morale as an input rather than an output inspired him to always stay optimistic for the benefit of those he led. We then turn to how Eisenhower dealt with the discovery of concentration camps at the end of WWII and making peace with Germany after it. We then talk about his nonpartisan governing style as president which he called the "Middle Way" and which involved emphasizing cooperation, compromise, and unity, including members of both political parties in his cabinet, limiting his use of the "bully pulpit" to sway public opinion, and striving not to turn policy issues into personality confrontations. We then discuss how this style influenced how he dealt with Joseph McCarthy and enforced the Brown v. Board of Education decision. At the end of our conversation, Susan explains that while she doesn't expect everyone to agree with the difficult decisions her grandfather made, she thinks there's something to be learned from how he managed to make them, and to make them without becoming hard and cynical in the process.

Here's one – but he died more than 50 years ago. In an era when Republican leaders are trying to destroy America's democracy, it's a revelation to reconsider Dwight D. Eisenhower. His granddaughter, Susan Eisenhower, dug through diaries, letters and government documents to bring him back to life.  

Few people have made decisions as momentous as Eisenhower, nor has one person had to make such a varied range of them. From D-Day to Little Rock, from the Korean War to Cold War crises, from the Red Scare to the Missile Gap controversies, Ike was able to give our country eight years of peace and prosperity by relying on a core set of principles. These were informed by his heritage and upbringing, as well as his strong character and his personal discipline, but he also avoided making himself the center of things. He was a man of judgment, and steadying force. He sought national unity, by pursuing a course he called the Middle Way that tried to make winners on both sides of any issue. Ike was a strategic, not an operational leader, who relied on a rigorous pursuit of the facts for decision-making. His talent for envisioning a whole, especially in the context of the long game, and his ability to see causes and various consequences, explains his success as Allied Commander and as President. After making a decision, he made himself accountable for it, recognizing that personal responsibility is the bedrock of sound principles.

On the release of this episode, we find ourselves in October of 2020. Still deep in the Covid-19 pandemic, and exactly one week away from the 2020 presidential election. Instead of piling on with our own opinions and speculation, we’re heading to the past for lessons and perspective that might, just might, help us make better sense of the world around us. Lessons from someone I think many of us wouldn’t mind having around today. A man who led the fight to liberate Europe from the darkness of Nazism. A man who spent decades patiently preparing and training for that role, never knowing if it would ever come. A man who’s deep footprint on history still shapes the world we live in today. A man who served through multiple heart attacks, strokes, and other severe illnesses. A leader tested by pandemics from the 1918 Spanish Flu to Polio. A true citizen of the world who, as Lyndon Johnson described, left “America…a better nation—stronger, safer, more conscious of its heritage, more certain of its destiny---because Ike was with us when America needed him.” Today’s guest knew Ike well, though she never addressed him as General or Mr. President. She called him grandpa because Susan Eisenhower is one of Dwight Eisenhower’s four grandchildren. She is a writer, policy strategist and national security expert who leads the Washington, DC based consulting firm, The Eisenhower Group. Her recently published book, “How Ike Led, The Principles Behind Eisenhower’s Biggest Decisions,” and her personal perspective growing up with her grandfather are the focus of today’s episode. With that said, let’s get started.

Zack, Chris, and Melanie get together to talk about what American foreign policy might look like after Jan. 20, 2021. Would President Joe Biden seek a restoration of Obama administration policies, or will he stake out his own doctrine? What will the economic side of America’s foreign policy look like in a second Trump or first Biden administration? Can America’s relationships with allies survive another Trump term? Would a Biden administration be able to repair partnerships that have suffered damage in the last four years? Where would human rights fit in a Biden agenda? Who might the important players be in each administration?   Chris issues a plea for calm and unity, Zack has some kind thoughts for outgoing Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and Melanie gives an attaboy to Africa for eradicating wild polio.     Links David A.

Michael talks with Susan Eisenhower about the leadership principles followed by her grandfather, President Dwight Eisenhower.

Join us for a virtual conversation with Susan Eisenhower, who describes in How Ike Led the ways in which her grandfather, President Dwight Eisenhower, led America through a transformational time using strategic, principled leadership. Few people have made major decisions as momentous or varied as Eisenhower did. From D-Day to Little Rock, from the Korean War to Cold War crises, from the Red Scare to the Missile Gap controversies, Ike relied on a core set of principles to give our country 8 years of peace and prosperity. These were informed by his heritage and upbringing, as well as his strong character and personal discipline. But he also avoided making himself the center of things. He was a man of judgment, and steadying force. He sought national unity by pursuing a course he called the "Middle Way" that tried to make winners on both sides of any issue. And he was a strategic leader who relied on a rigorous pursuit of the facts for decision-making. His talent for envisioning a whole, especially in the context of the long game, and his ability to see causes and various consequences, explain his successes both as Allied commander and as president. And after making a decision, he made himself accountable for it, recognizing that personal responsibility is the bedrock of sound principles and is sorely missed whenever leaders lack it.

This week, Martha is joined by Susan Eisenhower, President Dwight Eisenhower's granddaughter, chairman and CEO of The Eisenhower Group Inc. and author of the new book: How Ike Led: The Principles Behind Eisenhower's Biggest Decisions.

“He's probably the last president that will get bipartisan support for a memorial.  Democrats like him for big government things like the Department of Education and NASA and the interstate system - we love all that stuff - and of course he is a Republican, so that side of the aisle came on.  So this was sort of a cool thing in D.C. at first to see both sides of the aisle to say, yes, we need an Ike memorial."Tour Guide Tell All explores a new memorial - or at least, what we decided to call a new memorial even though it is not officially open or dedicated yet.  The dedication of D.C.'s newest memorial has been postponed to September 17, 2020 but it is nearly completed, so we took a quick sneak peek.Join us as we discuss the full-on DRAMA surrounding this memorial and its design and the unlikely story of how it finally came to life.  For a glimpse at behind-the-scenes video of the memorial, be sure to check out our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/freetoursbyfoothqComments or Questions?

"He was the most famous, and arguably the most beloved man in the world in the decade of the 1950s. And yet he always found a way to say, 'your work is more important than what I'm doing.'” Sixty years ago, on December 11, 1959, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower during his historic visit to India gave a speech that makes reference to the world in 2019. This Tea Leaves episode covers a panel discussion commemorating that moment in history, co-hosted by The Asia Group at the Atlantic Council between Rich, Susan Eisenhower, president of the Eisenhower Group and President Eisenhower's granddaughter, and Dr. Will Hitchcock, professor at the University of Virginia's Department of History. The discussion reflects on the legacy President Eisenhower left on U.S. foreign policy and his role as a statesman, grandfather, and American.

In this episode of Conversations Beneath the Cupola, podcast host, Gettysburg College President Robert W. Iuliano, is joined by guest Susan Eisenhower. Eisenhower is the Chairman Emerita of the Eisenhower Institute at Gettysburg College and granddaughter of Dwight Eisenhower. She is also an author, an international policy consultant, an expert on international security, space policy, energy, and relations between the Russian Federation and the United States of America. Iuliano and Eisenhower begin the episode by discussing Dwight Eisenhower’s legacy on Gettysburg College through the lens of the Eisenhower Institute. At first, the Eisenhower Institute was a foundation created to give out scholarships, but it has grown to take on a more dynamic nature with roots in educating rising generations about important issues, which ultimately led to its affiliation with Gettysburg College in the early 1990s. Beyond her involvements with the Eisenhower Institute, teaching a class called Strategy and Leadership in Transformational Times and taking several students on a trip to the beaches of Normandy, both of which have led to lasting connections between her and students, Eisenhower shares the broader connections that she has with Gettysburg, and reflects on what about this place was special and significant to her grandfather. In reflecting on Dwight’s time, Eisenhower also offers advice on how we can bridge political divides today and advice to students generally. This advice includes uniting the country around central ideas, redefining leadership, and remaining optimistic. Eisenhower stands behind this advice, as this is the same advice she would offer people too. At the end of this episode, Eisenhower talks briefly about her new book, How Ike Led: The Principles Behind His Biggest Decision, which will be released in 2020.

Michael heard Susan Eisenhower talk about courage on D-Day 2019, and it caused him to really think about what courage means in American society. H.R. 1, the Democrats first bill, is anything but courageous - it is a threat to free speech. Kamala Harris promises to prosecute Donald Trump. Isn’t that a form of projection? Marcia Fudge calls Trump supporters stupid and dumb. A congresswoman from California says her Republican colleagues are sex-starved men. But polls show otherwise! The CDC comes out against cookie dough. Michael is going to binge on cookie dough.
