"The best account of these momentous months that we shall ever see" - Clay Blair, Washington Post Book World"Required reading by everyone with a stake in the defense of the West" - Theodore Draper, The New York Review of Books"This is the most complete account of Ike's command, rich with maps and notes, vigorous and balanced." - Chicago Sun-Times"Destined to become a standard source for the brief but eventful period it chronicals." - Newsweek" 'Eisenhower: At War'' stands by itself as a creditable and solid achievement. It provides an illuminating perspective through which to understand the Supreme Commander's problems and achievements. Eisenhower himself emerges as a military leader who overcame mighty obstacles by breadth of view, courage in assuming responsibility and self-control under exasperating circumstances, embodying, it may be said, a coldly efficient way to victory. 'Eisenhower: At War' is more than an act of family piety. It is a contribution to historical understanding." - New York TimesThe first of three conceived multi-volume studies of President Eisenhower, this book focuses on Eisenhower's conduct of the war and provides an extensively documented analysis of the political ramifications of the course of the war and Eisenhower's decisions.The work, a New York Times bestseller and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in history, is based on the meticulous reading of voluminous primary sources and amplified by the author's personal knowledge of his grandfather's conduct of the war. David Eisenhower's riveting account of the hinge of modern history is itself a major event in that history. By showing the decisive impact of Soviet strength not only on the outcome of the war but on the strategic thinking of the Western leaders, this book profoundly recast our perceptions of World War II and its consequences.The author is the son of John Eisenhower, soldier-diplomat and military historian; and grandson of the soldier-President; and also the son-in-law of Richard Nixon. The book's more than 1,000 pages cover approximately 18 months: from the opening of the first meeting between Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin at Tehran, on Nov. 29, 1943, to the Guildhall address in London, on June 12, 1945, in which Eisenhower defined his posture as a statesman as well as a victorious general. It was at Tehran that the Western leaders committed themselves to Stalin to invade the Continent in mid-1944 (OVERLORD) and to land in the south of France (ANVIL); and, in the wake of the meeting, Roosevelt appointed Eisenhower rather than George C. Marshall to command the invading forces.It is clearly one of the great military-political sequences in modern history; it cast a long shadow down to the present, stretching as far into the future as any of us can perceive; it has been told from the perspectives of virtually all the major participants. Their conflicting views are reflected in the more than 100 volumes cited by the author in his Select Bibliography, as well as in the oral histories, diaries, letters and other records he brings to bear. The New York Times Book Review stated: The book's most stirring accomplishment is to restore the European war to us in all its bloodiness, messiness and perilous incertitude. It reminds us, in words that David Eisenhower quotes from the best of war correspondents, Ernie Pyle: ''We have won this war because our men are brave, and because of many other things - because of Russia, and England, and the passage of time, and the gift of nature's materials. We did not win it because destiny created us better than all other peoples.'' This new 30th Anniversary eBook edition contains extensive maps, 80 black white photos, a list of Principal Figures, a full Glossary, Bibliography and extensive Notes. David Eisenhower is the Director of the Institute for Public Service at the Annenberg School of Communication at the University Pennsylvania.
