Dwight D. Eisenhower – 1961, White House, Washington D.C. – The President’s Farewell Speech to the Nation
Dwight D. Eisenhower served as the president of the United States for two terms. But when the time came for him to leave the Oval Office, he kept it short and sweet with a farewell speech that lasted for less than ten minutes.
Eisenhower, an army general, surprised everyone by leaving with a stern warning against the power of the “military-industrial complex,” a term he is credited for coining. His cautionary message remains relevant as writers today still reference his speech when talking about the influence of arms dealers on the politics of war.
