Jonathan Brown's Reviews > The Light of Battle: Eisenhower, D-Day, and the Birth of the American Superpower

I read this for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The book is really a biography of Eisenhower around this time as Allied Commander but does a very nice job also giving a general background of Eisenhower to those who are not familiar with him or his up bringing. The writing and research was solid and I really enjoyed it. It brought home to me the gravity of what one man was dealing with in attempt to free a part of the world from horrific tyranny.
