The authors begin with an examination of prewar planning for
various contingencies, then move to the origins of "Germany first"
in American war planning. They then focus on the concept, favored
by both George C. Marshall and Dwight D. Eisenhower, that the
United States and its Allies had to conduct a cross-channel attack
and undertake an offensive aimed at the heartland of Germany.
Following this background contained in the initial chapters, the
remainder of the book provides a comprehensive discussion outlining
how the European Campaign was was carried out. The authors conclude
that American political leaders and war planners established
logical and achievable objectives for the nation's military forces.
However during the campaign's execution, American military leaders
were slow to put into practice what would later be called
operational level warfare. For comparison, the authors include an
appendix covering German efforts at war planning in the tumultuous
1920s and 1930s.
