Where one is cast as a WWII Commander (10)
I believe the answer is:
eisenhower
'where one is cast as a wwii commander' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'where one is cast' is the wordplay.
'cast' indicates an anagram (letters are dispersed or cast around).
'where'+'one'+'is'='whereoneis'
'whereoneis' with letters rearranged gives 'EISENHOWER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eisenhower that I've seen before include "US president and general" , "General, President, 'Ike'" , "US president nineteen fifty three to nineteen sixty one" , "1950s president" , "American general" .)
