Very interesting. Eisenhower early on gets the media on side. He also focuses on lesser generals (Come on does anyone ACTUALLY know Devers and Hodges were. I didn't. Now the fault. The prose is very dry. In the hands of a better writer Ike's story WOULD have been exciting stuff but not here. Out there is a excellent biography on Eisenhower. This isn't it.
