West Point was very conscious of any ' Non-White' candidates. It was
obvious from Eisenhower's appearance that he was carrying another race's
blood. The headmaster quizzed him and he admitted he had Jewish
ancestors
Bernard Baruch was behind
Eisenhower
They found an Army officer who had been a military failure until
Bernard Baruch promoted him to General, and who in 1945 should have
been able to hope for nothing better than that he could escape a court
martial and thus avoid being cashiered, if he could prove that all the
atrocities and all the sabotage of American interests of which he had
been guilty in Europe had been carried out over his protest and under
categorical orders from the President.
In 1952, although he had been a Democrat most of his life, Baruch
endorsed Dwight D. Eisenhower for president.
