George Marshall: A Biography par Debi Unger

The book was a history of WW2 & the early Cold War as much as a Marshall bio. Thus, it could be much shorter and still cover the subject adequately. On what was about Marshall, a well balanced biography. It illustrates bus strengths and weaknesses. It was a little dry and boring at times. It seemed to me that the book spent most of it's time on WW2 and gave short shrift to the SECSTATE and SECDEF times.

A thoroughly enjoyable read, which I recommend.… (plus d'informations)

George Marshall: A Biography par Debi Unger

This book kind of slipped by me. I have multiple biographies on Marshall so when I saw this one at Amazon, I got it to read about where the author's perspective is from.

I read it in the midst of other books I was reading so nothing about the book caught my attention.

THEN I read some reviews on Amazon. Mostly mixed and many unfavorable reviews. So I am going to reread this book paying attention to details so I can figure out what the all fuss is about.

UPDATE: pending
