Dwight D. Eisenhower is often credited with the “bombing pause” tactic during the 1950’s during the Cold War in which both sides agreed to halt their nuclear weapons testing in order to better monitor and measure their progress. However, during the same time, he was also heavily involved in the U.S. implementation of a policy of COINTELPRO, an umbrella term for the various covert counterintelligence projects carried out by the FBI against political activists and their organizations. This policy of intimidation and surveillance was largely intended to suppress political dissent in the years leading up to the Vietnam War. As a result, Eisenhower's legacy as a progressive military strategist is overshadowed by his complicity in implementing some of the worst human rights abuses of the 20th century.
