He was known as the most charismatic and consequential president of the post-war 20th century. His contagiously positive demeanor, moral resoluteness, and clear focus, as well as his ability to radiate hope, optimism, and an ambitious “let’s get this done” attitude, though commanding, pragmatic, and firm when he needed to be, enabled him to take on the threat of the most dominant and occupying force in the world since the beginning of that century; The Soviet Union. As communism spread throughout the world not only in the Soviet Union, but in Cuba and other parts of the world as well, the Soviet Union had a coalition it could depend on to ultimately dominate the world and eventually infiltrate, penetrate, and deflate the United States of America, the last bastion of freedom in the world. The Soviet Union had a sense of dominance, confidence, and was on the move. What was needed in the United States was resolute leadership to confront and neutralize it. But it wasn’t going to be an easy task. The war that raged on between the United States and the Soviet Union was one of immense geopolitical tension that eventually led to the preparation of global nuclear war. And amidst the extremely high stakes, keeping the focus on the overall goal, despite all the noise, the opposition, and the criticisms from within, had to stay center and unwavering should the goal of defeating the Soviet Union be followed through on.
