Though Dwight “Ike” Eisenhower is Supreme Commander of Operation Overlord, the invasion of France, he doesn’t have absolute power over the Allied forces. He fights with the Bomber Barons and Prime Minister Winston Churchill for control of the Allied heavy bombers to support the invasion. As D-Day approaches, Mother Nature interferes, and Eisenhower must decide whether to go forward, risking catastrophic defeat in stormy seas. After breaching Hitler’s Atlantic Wall, Eisenhower’s dueling prima donna generals Montgomery and Patton cause him unending headaches. Charles de Gaulle adds to Eisenhower’s stress by repeatedly threatening to have the French army disobey his orders. Eisenhower finds comfort and camaraderie with his beautiful English driver and secretary, Kay Summersby.
Picking up where Ike’s Journey left off, Victory in Europe recounts Eisenhower’s critical involvement in winning the war in Europe. From D-Day through the battle for France, Operation Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge, and the crossing of the Rhine, Eisenhower overcomes every obstacle, leading the Allies to crushing victories over the Nazi armies and ending Hitler’s evil Third Reich.
