Along with a ringing message to his troops, he drafted a different one in case the invasion failed. In it he said, "If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt, it is mine alone." Ike's integrity, on and off the battlefield, gave him unparalleled credibility in the postwar world, whether launching Atoms for Peace; ending the war in Korea; sending federal troops to Little Rock, Ark., to integrate the school; or warning against...
