A portrait of George Catlett Marshall (1880-1959), and a distillation of the lessons his formative years offer to the leaders of today and tomorrow.
What The Reviewers Say
Mr. Bunting conveys a keen sense of balance and perception. Keeping a focus on the big inflection points of Marshall’s life, the author does not turn every incident into a saintly miracle or salutary story. Offering context and interconnection, mixing warts and paeans, he ably narrates the grit and dedication that went into making an American leader..
Engaging and admiring.
Illuminating.
