On January 21, 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his second inaugural address on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. The speech, titled “The Price of Peace,” reflected the atmosphere of the Cold War strategic environment and the inherent danger of competition between two nuclear-armed superpowers. Despite this, he provided a clear vision for the nation—and the world.
