Wrote Ike in Crusade in Europe: "I thought Marshal Zhukov an affable and soldierly-appearing individual . . . There was discernible only an intense desire to be friendly and cooperative." Zhukov won the respect of almost all the Allied generals, but between himself and Eisenhower there was genuine affection. "That friendship was a personal and an individual thing," wrote Ike, who went with Zhukov to a football game at Moscow's Dynamo Stadium, and put his arm around Zhukov's shoulder as they...
