Crusade in Europe

In 1948, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. obtained the exclusive rights to create a television series called Crusade in Europe, based on the 1948 book, Crusade in Europe written by Dwight D. Eisenhower and published by Doubleday. The 26-episode series showed World War II film footage from the US military and other sources, with a voice soundtrack based on a narration of the book. The TV series was also the subject of a US copyright and trademark lawsuit filed in 1998. In the decision, Dastar Corp. v. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp., the case was decided in 2003 by the U.S. Supreme Court.
