Chervinsky presents "The Man for the Moment: President Dwight Eisenhower, Post-war America and the Looming Cold War." She discusses how Eisenhower was the right man to lead the United States after the end of World War II. Chervinsky will explore how Eisenhower used his experiences, outlook, and leadership style to usher in a period of relative peace, economic expansion and stability desperately needed after decades of economic turmoil and war. She also shares key behind-the-scenes stories and photos that reveal life in the Eisenhower White House. Prior to joining the White House Historical Association, Chervinsky received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis. She held a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Presidential History at Southern Methodist University. Her book,The Cabinet: George Washington and the Creation of an American Institution, will be released in Spring 2020. This talk is in conjunction with The White House Historical Association, a non-profit organization founded in 1961 by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy with a mission to protect, preserve, and provide public access to the rich history of America's Executive Mansion.
