Synopsis:
MARSHALL: A STATESMAN SHAPED IN THE CRUCIBLE OF WAR
begins with a sandy-haired, mischievous and energetic boy, nurtured by his mother, judged and challenged by his father, and deeply loved by both. Rachel Yarnell Thompson has taken Marshall from that fresh-faced youth's tentative and formative time to the intersection of national and world events where he soon proved his mettle as a leader. Combining extensive primary source material with secondary sources, Thompson's biography presents an authoritative and superbly readable story of George C. Marshall's extraordinary journey.

The Center is located near the Marshall House, known locally as Dodona Manor, the general's former residence in Leesburg, Virginia. She is also co-author of AMERICA'S HERO TO THE WORLD: GEORGE C. MARSHALL.
