Download George Marshall: A Biography AudioBook Free
A major historical biography of George C. Marshall - the general who ran the U.S. plan through the Second World Conflict, the Secretary of Talk about who oversaw the successful rebuilding of post-war Europe, and the victor of the Nobel Tranquility Reward - and the first ever to provide a complete picture of his life. While Eisenhower Patton, Bradley, Montgomery, MacArthur, Nimitz, and Leahy waged fights in Europe and the Pacific, one armed service leader actually ran World Conflict II for America, overseeing employees and logistics: Chief of Personnel of the U.S. Military from 1939 to 1945, George C. Marshall. This interpretive biography of George C. Marshall follows his life from his childhood in Western Pa and his armed service training at the Virginia Military Institute to his role after and during World Conflict II and his death in 1959 at age seventy-eight. It brings to light the virtuous historical role models who influenced him, including George Washington and Robert E. Lee, and his interactions with the Washington politics establishment, armed service brass, and international market leaders, from Harry Truman to Chiang Kai-shek. It explores Marshall's successes and failures during World Conflict II, and his contributions through two critical many years of the emerging Freezing War - including the transformative Marshall Plan, which kept Western Europe from Soviet domination, and the failed try to unite China's nationalists and communists. Based on amazing research and filled with rich detail, George Marshall is sure to be hailed as the definitive work on one of the most influential information in American background.
