About the Book

Carlo D'Este's previous book Patton cemented his reputation as one of the pre-eminent historians of the Second World War. Here he turns to America's most successful commander of the war, the future President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Born in poverty, the child of convinced pacifists, Eisenhower rose to command the Allied invasion force from D-Day to the conquest of Germany. He remains a controversial figure, especially to the British. Eisenhower had a prickly relationship with his most notorious subordinate, the British General Montgomery. As well as the key military issues, D'Este reveals the truth about Eisenhower's alleged romance with his British driver, Kay Summersby, his troubled marriage and his eye for the political future. This is the definitive biography of the most important officer in the Allied armies of the Second World War.

About the Author :
Carlo D'Este served in the US Army in Vietnam, Germany and England before retiring as a lieutenant-colonel in 1978. He received his MA from the University of Richmond and has now published six books that have won high acclaim from, amongst others, John Keegan, Martin Blumenson and Alan Clark.

Review :
As Carlo D'Este, America's foremost living historian of the Second World War shows in this new definitive biography, Ike's grin and cheery good nature were an invaluable morale-booster. Soldiers trusted and were fond of him, and it was no coincidence that when he successfully ran for president in 1952, the campaign slogan was simply 'I like Ike'. After reading this splendid book, you will too. - MAIL ON SUNDAY (22/7/03) - Andrew Roberts The author of a number of excellent campaign histories of the second world war, D'Este has written a splendid book. - THE SUNDAY TIMES (8/6/03) - Hew Strachan In a superbly paced narrative, based on outstanding research, D'Este, an accomplished military historian, provides the best account yet of Eisenhower's army career. The book is unlikely to be bettered... D'Este sensibly makes no attempt to engage in armchair theorising about military strategy. Instead he offers a detailed and meticulously researched chronology, which is always offset by a sensitively drawn portrait of Eisenhower's psychology and private life... splendid biography... - LITERARY REVIEW, June 2003 - Desmond King Carlo D'Este, one of America's most acclaimed military historians, has written a biography of Eisenhower the soldier that paints him as a complex man. D'Este follows his life as far as Victory in Europe Day, and asserts his record as a soldier, but never ma
