George C. Marshall

Servant of the American Nation

As historian and biographer Mark Stoler has observed, the extraordinary career of George C. Marshall in the first half of the twentieth century paralleled the emergence of the United States as a great power. Indeed, this great servant-leader contributed substantively to virtually every important event and issue comprising that ascendance. Bringing together a who's who of Marshall scholars, this volume examines the major roles assumed by Marshall over his five-decade career - Soldier; Statesman and Peacemaker; and Leader and Manager - to illuminate key issues and themes surrounding the man and his era.
