Commander in Chief: Franklin Delano Roosevelt, His… by Eric Larrabee

Assigned reading for S&W at the NWC that I only skimmed.

From the syllabus: Larrabee provides an assessment of Eisenhower’s leadership during the Second World War. He also deals with the major operational controversies surrounding the Normandy campaign, many centering on the relationship between Eisenhower and Montgomery.
