It's 1962 and The New York Times Magazine has published its first list ranking American Presidents in order of greatness. Pondering his placement on the list, Eisenhower looks back on his life—his Kansas upbringing, his decorated Army career, his victories in World War II, and his two terms as President—contemplating the qualities and adversities that make an American President great. The play is adapted from a vast array of General Eisenhower's memoirs, speeches, and letters.
