Manage episode 430109489 series 2093636
On June 5, 1944, Supreme Allied Commander Dwight Eisenhower addressed 150,000 soldiers boldly poised to invade France and liberate Europe. “The eyes of the world are upon you,” the general intoned. Eighty years later, Michel Paradis’ new book, “THE LIGHT OF BATTLE: Eisenhower, D-Day, and the Birth of the American Superpower,” shines a new spotlight on Ike, from humble beginnings in Abilene, Kansas to his command of Operation Overlord. Following his chronicle of Jimmy Doolittle’s daring raid on Tokyo, Paradis returns Inside the ICE House offering a fresh take on Eisenhower and America’s rise as the indispensable nation.
