This review is from: George C. Marshall, Vol. 4: Statesman, 1945-1959 (Mass Market Paperback)
There seems to be a consensus that Pogue's massive biography is the definitive authority on Marshall. Certainly every possible detail is included, which is why the book is so huge. If you want the most possible information on Marshall or on any particular phase of his life, go find a copy of one or all volumes of Pogue's work.I found the reading slow going and sometimes the level of detail stood in the way of a strong narrative. Contrast this with, say, Caro's biography of LBJ, where each instance of delving into deeper detail and closer focus just makes the book more intensely gripping. |
