AS HISTORIAN AND BIOGRAPHER MARK STOLER HAS OBSERVED, THE EXTRAORDINARY CAREER OF GEORGE C. MARSHALL IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY PARALLELED THE EMERGENCE OF THE UNITED STATES AS A GREAT POWER. INDEED, THIS GREAT SERVANT-LEADER CONTRIBUTED SUBSTANTIVELY TO VIRTUALLY EVERY IMPORTANT EVENT AND ISSUE COMPRISING THAT ASCENDANCE. BRINGING TOGETHER A WHO'S WHO OF MARSHALL SCHOLARS, THIS VOLUME EXAMINES THE MAJOR ROLES ASSUMED BY MARSHALL OVER HIS FIVE-DECADE CAREER - SOLDIER; STATESMAN AND PEACEMAKER; AND LEADER AND MANAGER - TO ILLUMINATE KEY ISSUES AND THEMES SURROUNDING THE MAN AND HIS ERA.
