Marshall, chief of staff of the U.S. Army from 1939 to 1945 and the military leader who actually ran World War II for America as he oversaw all personnel and logistics.<\/p>\n<p> Following Marshall from his childhood in western Pennsylvania and his training at the Virginia Military Institute to his role during and after World War II and his death in 1959 at the age of seventy-eight, this biography casts light on the inspiration he took from historical role models, such as George Washington and Robert E. Lee, and his relationships with military brass, the Washington political establishment, and world leaders, from Harry Truman to Chiang Kai-shek. It also explores Marshall\u2019s triumphs and defeats during World War II, and his contributions through two critical years of the emerging Cold War\u2014including the transformative Marshall Plan, which saved Western Europe from Soviet domination, and his failed attempt to unite China\u2019s Nationalists and Communists.<\/p>\n<p> Based on exhaustive research and filled with rich detail,\u00a0George Marshall\u00a0is sure to be hailed as the definitive work on one of the most influential figures in American history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElegant and iconoclastic\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. refreshing\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. persuasive.\u201d \u2014New York Times Book Review<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA grand but judicious biography of a fascinating man.\u201d \u2014Evan Thomas, author of Ike\u2019s Bluff    <\/p>\n<p> ASIN                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 B00JJV4R14 <br \/> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Harper; Reprint edition (October 21, 2014) <br \/> Publication date                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 October 21, 2014 <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> File size                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 4711 KB <br \/> Text-to-Speech                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Screen Reader                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Supported <br \/> Enhanced typesetting                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> X-Ray                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Word Wise                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Print length                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 628 pages <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-medium\">\n<h3 class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book excellent and a must-read for folks interested in leadership.
