John S. D Eisenhower

"Eisenhower examines the Allies' Italian campaign--which included some of World War II's longest and bloodiest battles--with an emphasis on the Anzio offensive from the perspectives of the individuals who fought, both commanders and foot soldiers, highlighting his analysis with quotations from personal accounts and memoirs"--Provided by publisher.

An account of the military career of Dwight D. Eisenhower, as presented by his son, describes his relationships with such contemporaries as Patton, MacArthur, and Churchill and recounts his campaigns in Africa and Europe.

Explores a half-century of U.S. foreign policy from World War II to the Iraq War, revealing how, as Dwight Eisenhower had warned in his 1961 Farewell Address, political and corporate interests have become alarmingly entangled in the business of war. On a deeper level, what emerges is a portrait of a nation in transition--drifting dangerously far from her founding principles toward a more imperial and uncertain future.
