A hard-nosed and experienced statesman and a virulent anti-Communist, John Foster Dulles served as secretary of state under President Dwight D. Eisenhower from 1953-59. He advocated support of the French in their war against the Vietminh in Indochina and famously refused to shake the hand of Zhou En-Lai at the Geneva Conference in 1954.
