"I am well-acquainted with the history of WWII, but in all these years of study I had never read Eisenhower’s viewpoint. It is a fascinating read, explaining the military, political and human conditions which he and his staff faced. This book has given me a much more balanced view of that war, and I will encourage my children & grandchildren to read it." [a private review]

"Five-star General Dwight D. Eisenhower was arguably the single most important military figure of World War II. For many historians, his memoirs of this eventful period of U.S. history have become the single most important record of the war. Crusade in Europe tells the complete story of the war as Eisenhower planned and lived it. Through his eyes, the enormous scope and drama of the war-strategy, battles, moments of fateful decision- become fully illuminated in all their fateful glory.

His personal record of the tense first hours after he had issued the order to attack- and there was no turning back- leaves no doubt of Eisenhower's travail and reveals this great man in ways that no biographer has ever surpassed." [from a review]
