4.0 out of 5 starsConcise, detailed, no-nonsense bio
By Bally Scotsman on June 3, 2011
Format: Hardcover
This surely must rate as one of the better installments in the "Great Generals Series." There is a generous amount of detail in its 190 closely-printed pages, and all phases of Marshall's extraordinary and wide-ranging career are covered in due proportion.

George C. Marshall is one of those rare historical figures - especially in the fields of statecraft and military science - to whom seems to attach a remarkably insignificant degree of criticism and controversy, and even less venom & spite. In particular, his leadership in WWII and during the post-war European crisis appear virtually beyond reproach, perhaps to all but a perennially disgruntled fringe. Only the "loss of China" still sounds an ominous note, but the complexities of that situation are understandably beyond the scope of this book, and any indictment of Marshall on account of China's "loss" to the communists would require far more information than we are given here. But it is hard to imagine the ChiComs going down in defeat before anything less that a massive American intervention, on a scale comparable to, if not exceeding, the planned invasion of Japan - or else a massive nuclear campaign, neither scenario very likely in the immediate aftermath of WWII as the nation and the world concerned itself with picking up the pieces and attempting to put things back together. Lacking the proverbial "smoking gun", I propose that it would be disingenuous, simplistic, and unjust to blame Marshall for "losing" China. To his credit, the author does not proffer any such indictment.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsOutstanding Biography!
By Dusty on September 10, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Another great book in this series. This biography hits more than just the highpoints of Gen Marshall's life and career but doesn't ever get bogged-down. Not for someone who is doing an in-depth analysis of the man, but a super read to learn who the man was and understand many of the great deeds he did while serving his country in multiple capacities. I learned a lot and recommend the book for anyone with an interest in WW I, WW II and post WW II US and European history, or just about a great American.

4.0 out of 5 starsBiography of US statesman and soldier George Catlett Marshall Jr.
By Rolf Dobelli HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWER on December 17, 2010
Format: Hardcover
George Catlett Marshall Jr., a revered soldier and statesman, served as US Army chief of staff during World War II and later as secretary of state and secretary of defense. A born leader, Marshall was, as Sir Winston Churchill described him, "the noblest Roman of them all." He stood resolute for what he believed and, as authors H. Paul Jeffers and Alan Axelrod make clear, the world is a better place because he did. Indeed, Europe would not exist in its present state if not for the Marshall Plan that rebuilt its shattered nations after World War II. getAbstract recommends Jeffers and Axelrod's short, readable biography to those interested in the attributes that leadership demands, as demonstrated by the luminous life of George Marshall.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood Book
By Gustavo Concari on August 20, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Marshall is an astonishing personality of the 20th century, he was almost a genius in logistics and organization. He very seldom comanded troops in batlles, however he was responsible for supllies and logistics of the allies in all their great theaters of WWII.
I think the other important thing to bear in mind is that he was not a "prima donna" like Patton or McArthur, on the contrary. He had a completely different personailty from the formers.
