Summary: A Genuine American Hero
Comment: As I finished reading Mr. Crays critically detailed book of General Marshall, I could not help feel sad by the lack of recognition he received. As a truely great man he did not have to prove to anyone who was in charge. Even at the Pearl Harbor hearings the people observing stood up when he entered and left the room out of shear respect. As Winston Churchill stated about General Marshall when WWII was over " Thank You". Americans will probably never really know what a great leader, soldier, statesman, and example he truely was during such a dark time in our history. Mr. Cray does a great job in paying tribute to the man.

Summary: THE GREATEST AMERICAN NO ONE KNOWS
Comment: General George Marshall deserves to be as well know as Patton or Ike. He more than anyone else is responsible for America's victory in WWII. He could have been Surpreme Commander of all forces in Europe but out of duty and honor he stayed in Washington where he was needed. No person wielded more power during the war years except perhaps FDR. He was responsible for promoting such men as Ike, Patton, and Bradley. Who knows how history might have changed if he had sought the fame and glory that Ike received as Surpreme Commander. In this book Ed Cray follows Marshall from his childhood through his WWI and WWII service, including his later positions as Secretary of Defense and Secertary of State. I don't know of any other man who did as much in his life as Marshall. Best of all, he did it all with complete honesty and integrity. He had the absolute trust of all mjor players in WWII including FDR, Churchill, and Stalin. This book derserves to be on the shelf of all WWII buffs as well as anyone who wants to know what true leadership is about.

Summary: Save time, this is the one.
Comment: If you are looking for a history from the start of WWII through the depth of the cold war, this is it. I have read 20 books and biographies in this era and this is the best overview and the closest to the 'inside' political and military history I have seen.
