'Jeffers presents a compelling portrait of one of our nation's most accomplished and inspirational leaders. His book should be studied by students of military history, diplomacy and leadership alike.' - Brian D. Shaw, President, the George C. Marshall Foundation 'Jeffers adds to an already stellar reputation with this concise biography of one of the nations' top military figures. Jeffers shows how Marshall's love of country and emphasis on teamwork held together a wartime coalition often threatened by the explosive personalities of Patton, Montgomery, and others. In doing so, Marshall made as significant a contribution to victory as any field commander.' - John Wukovits, author of One Square Mile of Hell: The Battle for Tarawa 'An excellent introduction to a man whose service to his nation will remain the measure for generations to come.' - Kenneth Mandel, Emmy-winning director of George Marshall and the American Century
