Dwight D. Eisenhower at War Mary Beth Smith

Eisenhower was the greatest general during the greatest war in history. It was a war between good and evil. According to Stephen Ambrose he said, "This war was a holy war. More than any other in history this war has been an array of the forces of evil against those of righteousness." This war was the pinnacle of his life. The book covers the battles of North Africa, Sicily, Italy, D-Day, the breakout into France, the Liberation of Paris, the Battle of the Bulge, the breach of the Rhine, the destruction of German industry in the Ruhr and the Russians' capture of Berlin. Nothing would compare with some of his triumphs in this war, not even the presidency. For years afterwards people were struck with awe in presence of this kind and humble man.
