Author Jean Edward Smith deserves credit for the extensive research he did in writing this well-written book. While Eisenhower in War and Peace portrays Eisenhower as an essentially good man, Smith does not hesitate to portray some of Eisenhower’s flaws. For example, Smith thoroughly documents Eisenhower’s affair with Kay Summersby during World War II.[1] Eisenhower even wrote to General Marshall after the war saying that he wanted to be relieved of duty so that he could divorce his wife Mamie and marry Kay.[2]
However, when Eisenhower decided to return to Washington in November 1945 to succeed General Marshall as chief of staff, Eisenhower wrote a “Dear John” letter to Kay Summersby. Smith writes about this letter:
The postscript notwithstanding, Eisenhower’s letter to Kay is cold- blooded and ruthless. FDR would have been incapable of writing such a missive, and George Patton would have said a warmer good-bye to his horse. With his letter Eisenhower closed the book on his relationship with Kay Summersby. Kay would not completely go away, but Ike had taken the necessary step to restore his marriage to Mamie and resume his career. Eisenhower and his son John have been assiduous in their attempt to minimize the role Kay Summersby played in Ike’s life.[3]
Smith also discusses many of Eisenhower’s military mistakes and failures throughout his book. For example, in regard to the Allied failure to take Tunis, Smith writes: “In their postwar memoirs, Eisenhower and Clark imply that General Anderson was to blame for the failure to take Tunis because he did not strike out boldly. Yet the primary responsibility rested with Ike.”[4]
Smith also writes that Eisenhower acknowledged that he had erred by pressing II Corps too far forward in Tunisia:
Had I been willing to pass to the defensive, no attack against us could have achieved even temporary success.”[5]
Eisenhower in War and Peace also documents many of the criticisms Allied military leaders made of Eisenhower’s military performance. For example, British Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery confided to Field Marshal Sir Alan Brooke: “I think now that if we want the war to end within any reasonable period you will have to get Eisenhower’s hand taken off the land battle. He has never commanded anything in his whole career; now, for the first time, he has elected to take direct command of very large-scale operations and he does not know how to do it.”[6]
Meeting with the British chiefs of staff on November 24, 1944, Field Marshall Alan Brooke called for Eisenhower’s replacement:
I put before the Committee my views on the very unsatisfactory state of affairs in France, with no one running the land battle. Eisenhower, though supposed to be doing so, is on the golf links at Reims—entirely detached and taking practically no part in running of the war. Matters got so bad lately that a deputation of [Major General J.F.M. “Jock”] Whiteley [SHAEF’s deputy chief of staff], Bedell Smith and a few others went up to tell him that he must get down to it and RUN the war, which he said he would. Personally, I think he is incapable of running the war even if he tries.[7]
Smith interestingly documents in his book that many top American military officers had strong anti-Jewish sentiments. Probably the most outspoken of these officers was American General George Van Horn Moseley. Smith writes about General Moseley:
Moseley was unquestionably an outstanding officer…After he retired in 1938 he became a bitter critic FDR and the New Deal, saw the possibility of war with Germany as a Jewish conspiracy launched by the great investment banks (which in his view were controlled by Jews), and ultimately came to believe that the Jews of Europe “were receiving their just punishment for the crucifixion of Christ.”[8]
Smith writes that while Eisenhower did not share Moseley’s anti- Jewish views, he never took issue with them, and in his memoirs Eisenhower suggested the general had been the victim of bad press coverage.[9]

There it is -- the dirt on this fiend I've been hunting for for years. His critics' extremely polite words about his 'failures' as battle commander add up to he had no business even putting on a uniform!
Behold how it works in Jewmerica: Ike was a tee-total nothing that toymaker Louis Marks turned into a something. He achieves literal godhood from worshipful Amurricans since the other main thing they love besides money is war.
But his main 'accomplishment' was of course murdering a million German POW's AFTER the war -- more than 1% of the population:

"Eisenhower, though supposed to be doing so, is on the golf links at Reims— entirely detached and taking practically no part in running of the war." Am I seeing things or was he really hired by the jew fatcats to (1) get as many Americans killed in battle as possible and (2) wiping out 7 figures of marriageable young German men after the conflict -- both notably furthering to genocide.
Dear me, I hope I'm not sounding too 'judgmental'.
