Description

Eisenhower and Berlin, 1945: The Decision to Halt at the ElbeBehind this decision lay another. Whose forces would be the first to reach Berlin? General Dwight David Eisenhower, supreme commander of the British and American armies, chose to halt at the Elbe River and leave Berlin to the Red Army. Could he have beaten the Russians to Berlin? If so, why didn't he? If he had, would the Berlin question have arisen? Would Germany have been divided as it was? Would the Cold War have assumed a direction more favorable

Behind this decision lay another. Whose forces would be the first to reach Berlin? General Dwight David Eisenhower, supreme commander of the British and American armies, chose to halt at the Elbe River and leave Berlin to the Red Army. Could he have beaten the Russians to Berlin? If so, why didn't he? If he had, would the Berlin question have arisen? Would Germany have been divided as it was? Would the Cold War have assumed a direction more favorable to the West? In a narrative of steady fascination, Stephen E. Ambrose describes both the political and the military aspects of the situation, sketches the key players, explains the alternatives, and considers the results. The result is a sharply focused light on an important question of the postwar world. This paperback edition features a new introduction by the author.

Love these
Size: 11.5 Wide, Color: White
For a plus size, tall woman that feet swell these sandals were perfect.They were not tight.They're very comfortable.The straps adjust perfectly and have a little bit of stretch in them.I was able to walk with them with no issue.They actually have great traction on the bottom.And surprisingly very durable.

Super comfortable and extremely flattering
Size: 9.5, Color: Black
Love! Love! Love! Even though they are very flat sandals, the soul has just enough cushion to feel like you’re walking on a cloud. I also love the location of the straps. As someone with bunions, they cover them perfectly and make my feet look attractive while not being completely covered.

Comfortable at first, but didn’t hold up long-term
Size: 8, Color: Tan
The size felt true and the feel was comfortable right out of the box. I liked the softness of the footbed, and the wearability was good for everyday errands and casual outings at first. Unfortunately, after about six months of regular use, they started falling apart. While the versatility was nice and the thickness felt fine for warm weather, the overall durability just wasn’t there. They’re okay for short-term use, but I wouldn’t expect them to last long.

Great quality
Size: 10, Color: Tan
Great quality leather sandals I bought to replace a worn out pair. They are comfortable and not stiff. Hoping the rubber sole lasts a long time. They look nice with jeans, shorts or casual dresses.
