Description:
David Eisenhower, grandson of General and President Dwight D. Eisenhower, authored this Pulitzer Prize nominated book. Per the synopsis provided on the book's inner flaps: "Eisenhower at War will forever reshape our thinking about the Second World War in Europe and its legacy. It will also revise the established portraits of the wartime leaders: Roosevelt, Churchill, Marshall, Montgomery and, of course, Eisenhower himself, of whom his grandson draws a far more complex and subtle portrait than we have seen so far. Moreover, this book will force us to reconsider such presumably settled issues as the Teheran Conference, the Allied decision to invade France, the Market-Garden disaster, the "loss" of Warsaw, Berlin and Prague, the Yalta Conference and, above all, the Soviet role in the defeat of Germany and the Allied response to it."inscription: To Walt, Merry Christmas 1987

Description:
Erik Larson has been widely acclaimed as a master of narrative non-fiction, and in his new book, the best-selling author of Devil in the White City turns his hand to a remarkable story set during Hitler's rise to power.The time is 1933, the place, Berlin, when William E. Dodd becomes America's first ambassador to Hitler's Germany in a year that proved to be a turning point in history.
A mild-mannered professor from Chicago, Dodd brings along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha. At first, Martha is entranced by the parties and pomp, and the handsome young men of the Third Reich with their infectious enthusiasm for restoring Germany to a position of world prominence. Enamored of the "New Germany", she has one affair after another, including with the suprisingly honorable first chief of the Gestapo, Rudolf Diels. But as evidence of Jewish persecution mounts, confirmed by chilling first-person testimony, her father telegraphs his concerns to a largely indifferent State Department back home.… Read More
