April 2019 Lunch & Learn Presenter: Louis Galambos Title: "Eisenhower: Becoming the Leader of the Free World" As the longtime editor of The Papers of Dwight David Eisenhower, Louis Galambos probably knows as much about the military hero turned commander in chief as anyone alive. In a discussion of his new book "Eisenhower: Becoming the Leader of the Free World," Galambos will explore how Ike developed his distinctive leadership style, as well as reappraisals of his reputation over the years. With the help of his mentor General Fox Conner, Eisenhower learned to profit from mistakes and readjust his course of action. As president, he embraced compromise and coalition building. Galambos is Research Professor and Editor of The Papers of Dwight David Eisenhower at the Johns Hopkins University. In addition to the Eisenhower Papers, Galambos has published numerous books and articles on modern America, the modern corporation, and the importance of entrepreneurship. Eisenhower’s Middle Road exhibit continues on display at the Kansas City Public Library, 14 W. 10th St., Kansas City, Mo., where Galambos will also present at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 24. This exhibit and associated programming is made possible by a grant to the Eisenhower Foundation from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation of Kansas City.
