"In the third installment of the Great Generals series, WWII expert John Wukovits explores Dwight D. Eisenhower's leadership strategies and his contributions to American warfare. American general and 34th president of the United States, Eisenhower led the assault on the French coast at Normandy and held together the Allied units through the European campaign that followed." "This fresh look at the general explores the roots of his career, including his military education at West Point and in subsequent military posts. The book reveals Eisenhower's advocacy in the 1920s of tank warfare and his friendships in that decade with George Patton and with his mentor, Fox Conner. The 1930s expanded Eisenhower's education and his influence by placing the young officer in a series of duties in and out of Washington, D.C. Of particular relevance to the modern day occupation of Iraq is his posting in the Philippines, where he closely worked with one of the army's luminaries, Douglas MacArthur." "Eisenhower's experiences in Washington and the Philippines prepared him for his pivotal role in the 1940s as supreme commander of Allied forces in Europe. Having faced a difficult challenge in the harsh terrain of northern Africa, a mature Eisenhower turned his vast talent to the European theater and the monumental campaign against Hitler." "Wukovits demonstrates how Eisenhower's military doctrine and his diplomatic coordination of armies from multiple countries contributed to Allied victory and uncovers the many lessons in leadership and in waging modern war that can be found in Eisenhower's career."--BOOK JACKET.
