His favorite golfing partner there was Arnold Palmer, who played many rounds with him.

His Crusade In Europe is the best history of the European Theater of WWII.
Although he was one of the most successful military commanders in history, he hated war.
During his campaign he promised to end the Korean war and did it shortly after his election.

"This world of ours... must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect"
