Description
General George C. Marshall: A Life of Service and Leadership. The extraordinary career of General George C. Marshall is one that has had a profound impact on American history, spanning two world wars and shaping the nation's values. This biography offers a fresh perspective on Marshall's life, drawing on newly discovered sources to reveal a man both remarkable and human. From his early days as a young officer in World War I, where he planned and executed a nighttime movement of over half a million troops, to his role as army chief of staff during World War II, Marshall's intellect and backbone were put to the test. His commitment to duty often ran up against the realities of Washington politics, but it was this blind commitment that ultimately defined him. Today, in an era of failed leadership, few lives are more worthy of renewed examination than Marshall's fifty years of loyal service to his nation and its values.
