About this title: This is a big, ambitious, and enthralling new biography of Dwight D. Eisenhower, full of fascinating details and anecdotes, which places particular emphasis on his brilliant generalship and leadership in World War Two, and provides, with the advantage of hindsight, a far more acute analysis of his character and personality than any that has previously been available, reaching the conclusion that he was perhaps America's greatest general - at least the equal of Ulysses S. Grant - and one of America's best presidents, a man who won the war and thereafter kept the peace.

"If you like military history this book is for you. It depicts the life and struggles of one of the greatest American generals who ever lived. The book covers all the American involved theaters of WWII and shows how an ambitious person like Ike ended up going to West Point, being one of the few five star generals of the United States, and eventually, a twice elected U.S. President."
"A very balanced accounting of Dwight David Eisenhower's life from childhood to the Presidency. The interfaces with men such as Patton, Montgomery, Churchill and others make the accounting even more interesting. Ike was the right man at the right time in our country's history."
"Great story about one of history's greatest military diplomats. Even MacArthur liked Ike. Don't bother reading it beyond WWII, Korda does not say much after that point. Minor hero worship by Korda, but it's a good enough read to make it tolerable."
"This was a well written book about a president I really didn't know much about. I'm not a reader of military history, but Korda made the battles of World War II interesting and understandable. His description of D-Day is easily the best part of the book. Ike's military career overshadows the rest of his life in this book -- I would have liked more than 80 pages about Eisenhower's two terms as president -- and Korda has an obvious case of hero worship that I think at times colors his analysis of events, but I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about history."
