    Ike and Monty

    By Norman Gelb

    About

    The Allied invasion of Normandy was one of the greatest military operations of the last hundred years.

    But although it was led by two great commanders, they seldom saw eye to eye.

    Dwight David Eisenhower and Bernard Law Montgomery were men of such profoundly contrasting temperaments and strategic orientation that their relationship was bound to be stormy.

    ‘Ike and Monty’ is the first book to focus exclusively on how their often bitter relationship determined the fate of the Allied effort to liberate Europe in World War II.

    From the invasion of North Africa to D-Day, from the Battle of the Bulge to the fall of Berlin, Ike and Monty draws a masterful portrait of a tortured union between two military giants.

    It is also an account of how their clash of wills came to personify the historic moment when the United States assumed the role of superpower in the West and once-powerful Great Britain was obliged to accept that it could no longer aspire to such exalted status.

    Norman Gelb has written several highly acclaimed books, including Desperate Venture: The Story of Operation Torch, the Allied Invasion of North Africa and Dunkirk: The Complete Story of the First Step in the Defeat of Hitler. He lives in London and is a correspondent for New Leader magazine.
