In this classic portrait of Dwight D. Eisenhower the soldier, best-selling historian Stephen E. Ambrose examines the Allied commander's leadership during World War II.
Ambrose brings Eisenhower's experience of the Second World War to life, showing in vivid detail how the general's skill as a diplomat and a military strategist contributed to Allied successes in North Africa and in Europe and established him as one of the greatest military leaders in the world. Ambrose, then the associate editor of the general's official papers, analyzes Eisenhower's difficult military decisions and his often complicated relationships with powerful personalities like Churchill, de Gaulle, Roosevelt, and Patton. This is the definitive account of Eisenhower's evolution as a military leader - from its dramatic beginnings through his time at the top post of Allied command.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Ferrone's performance was actually OK but his voice really takes some getting used to.Any additional comments?
In addition to being a great summary of Eisenhower's wartime experience and decisions, Ambrose does a great job of analyzing the difficulties of leadership and maintaining relationships when the stakes could not be higher. Particularly interesting is how the personalities and relationships of these leaders, Churchill, Roosevelt, Marshal, Montgomery, Patton, and of course Eisenhower led to the decisions they made and directly effected the course of the war and of human history.Great biography and study of leadership
