Meet Dwight D. Eisenhower: The Planner

He commanded D-Day, drafted the failure memo in advance — and gave his name to the matrix on your whiteboard.

Failed farmer, failed businessman, store clerk — then history handed him a war and found out who he was.

Abandoned as a boy, he built history's largest land empire on merit, law, and terrifying resolve.

General, author, dictator — the sharpest study in decisiveness, and in what unchecked ambition invites.

He retook Jerusalem — and spared it. Even his enemies wrote poems about him.

Twenty-seven years in prison — and he came out to build with his jailers rather than bury them.

Asthmatic child, grieving widower, Rough Rider, trust-buster — he made vigor a philosophy of life.

One generation: from expelled, resourceless island to one of the richest, safest nations on earth.

He wrote the sentence that keeps rewriting history — and lived a contradiction history rightly holds against him.

Fifty years of spectacular failure prepared the one man who wouldn't negotiate with catastrophe.
