In fact, the 1950s were a dangerous decade as the two great superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union amassed huge nuclear arsenals and came close to using them. In his biography Ike's Bluff, Thomas shows how Eisenhower, the hero of World War Two, avoided a far deadlier World War Three. Ike was hardly the genial, slightly dim figure he appeared to be, but rather a crafty, calculating commander in chief who used all his wiles and his profound experience with a terrible war to avoid a worse one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"lectureSpeaker\" style=\"padding-top: 1em;\">Speaker: Evan Thomas<\/h2>\n<div class=\"speakerInfo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2015\/10\/Evan-Thomas-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail alignleft\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2015\/10\/Evan-Thomas-150x150.jpg 150w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2015\/10\/Evan-Thomas-50x50.jpg 50w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2015\/10\/Evan-Thomas-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\">\n<p>Evan Thomas is the author of nine books, including several New York Times best sellers.
