Reviews

"Eisenhower versus Montgomery is...both useful and refreshing....Murray's book provides a valuable introduction to the competing strategies. For the general reader, this volume cuts to the heart of the debates, clearly illuminating the logistical, political, and military limits which inevitably led to Eisenhower's "broad front" strategy. For the advanced student, this work is useful for its analysis of many of the critical authors such as Wilmot or Nigel Hamilton....[A] gem of a book for any interested in the roots of the allies' victory over Germany."-Military and Naval History Journal
