Crusade in Europe
This audio version of Eisenhower's World War II experiences is a  long but exciting and intriguing memoir. Reader Michael  Prichard's pleasant voice adds to the experience of learning  about the war from the perspective of one of its chief  participants - the Supreme Allied Commander. As commander of the  European Theater of Operations, Eisenhower knew firsthand what  he was up against, and he shares his feelings here. His personal  accounts of military tactics; his reaction to victory and defeat  on the battlefield; his political dealings with other allied  commanders and politicos; and his relationship with his own  staff - including the colorful and controversial George S.  Patton - are just some of the areas the listener is exposed to in  this comprehensive work. There is also D-Day, the African  campaign, the invasion of Italy, and the brutal battles in the  Ardennes. Libraries with large audio collections serving history  and World War II buffs may want to consider this expensive but  quality audiobook. - Steven J.
