Features: The Ten Great Commanders of World War II Series. General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower was the highest commander of the Allied Forces during World War II. He successfully commanded the D-Day invasion, turning the tide of the European theater. After the war, he served as the President of Columbia University and was elected to two consecutive terms as President of the United States, becoming the only president in American history to hold military, political, and educational honors. President Nixon called him "a man of war, a man of peace, and a man of the American people." Most of the book is dedicated to describing Eisenhower's actions, thoughts, and deeds during World War II, while his post-war experiences are described relatively less. Of course, this does not mean neglecting his post-war experiences, but rather the author believes that this is the only way to highlight Eisenhower's vivid image during World War II.
