George C. Marshall: Education of a General: 1880-1939 (George C. Marshall #1) by Forrest C. Pogue
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.4 MB
Overview: Alone among the great figures of World War II and its aftermath, General George C. Marshall has until now remained voiceless and unportrayed. And yet, in the absence of his full life story, the books by other leaders of the free world give an incomplete picture: a key figure is missing.
In entrusting to the George C. Marshall Foundation the abundant record of his career to be made into a biography, George Marshall filled a vital gap in the history of our age. The unprecedented collection of source material, either bequeathed by General Marshall to the Foundation or collected later by it, consists of: all General Marshall’s personal papers, including his letters; taped interviews with the General made in 1956 and 1957 containing some 125,000 words about his early life; taped interviews with several score of his relatives, classmates, fellow officers, friends, and associates; incomparable newspaper files of the period; and microfilm copies of more than half a million items from official government files, many of them classified until now, but released for this purpose by the Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy administrations.
