The author was objective and avoided the temptation to be self serving. The author completed the book without the aide of a ghost writer or editor. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Raw history told by a maker *by L***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 22, 2020* Overall, a very interesting book.Plus factors+ It was fascinating to hear about WWII in Europe as recounted by the America and Britain's Supreme Commander in that theater.+ From a personal development and management perspective, I learned something about prioritization, effective execution, relationship building and organizational skills.+ It was interesting to read about Ike's interactions with historical figures such as Churchill, FDR and General Zhukov - probably the greatest general in WWII.+ Ike's insight is enduring, such as when he writes: "The democracies must learn that the world is now too small for the rigid concepts of national sovereignty that developed in a time when the nations were self-sufficient and self-dependent for their own well-being and safety. None of them today can stand alone. No radical surrender of national sovereignty is required—only a firm agreement that in disputes between nations a central and joint agency, after examination of the facts, shall decide the justice of the case by majority vote and thereafter shall have the power and the means to enforce its decision. This is a slight restriction indeed on nationalism and a small price to pay if thereby the peoples who stand for human liberty are better fitted to settle dissension within their own ranks or to meet attack from without."+ All of these so far outweigh the significant flaws below that I still give the book five stars.Minus factors- Ike is brilliant but not a great writer. This book could have used a good editor. It contained too much jargon and didn't develop the character of the generals. In terms of writing quality, Max Hastings' "Infero" is superior and a better introduction for those who have not read about WWII.- The book was too long. It contained lots of detail without an apparent point other than to recount historical facts.- Ike didn't acknowledge any serious faults or mistakes. He sounded defensive about the Battle of the Bulge and letting Monty pursue his failed Market Garden campaign.- Ike's political ability to build strong relationships and maintain alliances was a weakness in this book. At times Ike's praise of people was over the top and he sounded like a politician sucking up. Ike was insufficiently critical of weak generals like Montgomery, apparently not wanting to offend the British. Ike also did not give enough credit to Patton, the one and only US general the Germans feared. Instead, Ike spent too many pages in making Patton sound unbalanced and not enough pages on Patton's accomplishments in turning things around in North Africa, breaking out of Normandy, and coming to the rescue in the Battle of the Bulge.- Ike omitted how much more sacrifice the Russians made in bearing the brunt of the war. For the most part, Ike did not mention the incredible numbers in terms of Russian casualties, deaths etc.- Ike did not give the German army its due in terms of its effectiveness, putting aside how evil Germany was. Ike's bragging about the two Germans to one American loss ratio as the Allies overran Germany omitted that the overall balance of the loss ratio during the war was well in Germany's favor.- Ike should have spent more time on the Holocaust and camps. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a Very interesting account of WW2 leadership *by M***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 14, 2022* Leadership and decision making during WW2 was nicely recorded in this book. Also, the deep respect he had for the average soldier and how leadership decisions effect them. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/15928416-crusade-in-europe-paperback-july-2-1997](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/15928416-crusade-in-europe-paperback-july-2-1997) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
