“An excellent reexamination of Marshall’s career that is ideal for general readers.” — Booklist
“By any standard, George C. Marshall looms large over the twentieth century. Debi and Irwin Unger’s in-depth biography will raise an eyebrow or two over the man we thought we knew and provide an intriguing look at Marshall’s guarded personality, his complicated relationships, and his turbulent times.” — Walter R. Borneman, author of THE ADMIRALS and AMERICAN SPRING
“Integrity, honor, humility-how quaint, and how sorely missed, these virtues seem today. They were embodied in George Marshall, the great World War II army chief of staff and Cold War secretary of state. Marshall’s leadership style drives this grand but judicious biography of a fascinating man.” — Evan Thomas, author of IKE'S BLUFF
