| Abstract | George C. Marshall (1880-1959), head of the U.S. Army in World War II, Secretary of State (1947-49), Secretary of Defense (1950-51), and Nobel Peace Prize winner (1953), was one of the late people as a child. He liked to play and was reasonably athletic, anxious to try out new ideas, and was particularly interested in history, but he was not especially good in school. This book traces General Marshall's life from childhood to old age. Following the "Introduction" (Larry I. Bland), chapters in the book are: (1) "The Uniontown Years" (A Small Town Boyhood); (2) "VMI Years" (First Class Yankee); (3) "A Young Officer" (From the Philippines to the Great War); (4) "Duty with Pershing" (Lessons from the Top); (5) "The Making of a General" (From Ft. Benning to Vancouver Barracks); (6)"Army Chief of Staff Years" (Preparing for War); (7) "Army Chief of Staff" (War Duty in Washington); (8) "The Statesman Years" (From Ancient Land to the Marshall Plan); and (9) "Service without Uniform" (A Recall and a Long Rest). Includes 78 notes. Contains a 19-item selected bibliography. (BT) |
