Destination Casablanca by 11877245|Meredith Hindley book cover

πŸ“˜ Destination Casablanca

"In November 1942, as a part of Operation Torch, 33,000 American soldiers sailed undetected across the Atlantic and stormed the beaches of French Morocco. Seventy-four hours later, the Americans controlled the country and one of the most valuable wartime ports: Casablanca. In the years preceding, Casablanca had evolved from an exotic travel destination to a key military target after France's surrender to Germany. Jewish refugees from Europe poured in, hoping to obtain visas and passage to the United States and beyond. Nazi agents and collaborators infiltrated the city in search of power and loyalty. The resistance was not far behind, as shopkeepers, celebrities, former French Foreign Legionnaires, and disgruntled bureaucrats formed a network of Allied spies. But once in American hands, Casablanca became a crucial logistical hub in the fight against Germany--and the site of Roosevelt and Churchill's demand for "unconditional surrender." Rife with rogue soldiers, power grabs, and diplomatic intrigue, Destination Casablanca is the riveting and untold story of this glamorous city--memorialized in the classic film that was rush-released in 1942 to capitalize on the drama that was unfolding in North Africa at the heart of World War II" -- Publisher.

My Three Years with Eisenhower by 6712176|Harry C. Butcher book cover

πŸ“˜ My Three Years with Eisenhower

This comes as close to being Eisenhower's own diary as we are ever likely to come, for Capt. Butcher, naval aide to the General from 1942-45, kept the diary at Eisenhower's request, and here records not only the overall pattern of those three eventful years-1942-45- as they shaped themselves, but throughout -- by a word, a phrase, an incident, he gives those personal bits that make one feel that one learns to know Eiseuhower the man. The S.E.P. serialization has gleaned the 500,000 word text for the more dramatic highlights;- the sense of conflict as plans came under discussion, elements were changed, objectives abandoned, the whole integrated- this is richer in the full text, and makes one realize the immensity of the projects, first the African invasion, than the Normandy invasion. One senses more intimately the undercurrents of dislike for some of the compromises, as for instance the difficulties with the demands of Giraud, of Darlan, of De Gaulle, imperilling security and dispatch. One sees the General in his immediate response to the news of Patten's contretemps- and his measured and wise decision as to how to handle it. One feels the impelling pressure of events- of outside opinion- of inner dissension- and the greatness of a man who could rise above it, indefattguable but human, and needing occasional moments of escape in games, in being alone, or with a few chosen intimates. Great names and small cross the pages but never is there any feeling of Eiseuhower an other than a humble and simple man. The book supplies some of the facts behind the headlines-there's not much of actual news value- it is not inspired writing. But it is the record of three years that changed the world
