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 Times 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. <b
