Book Synopsis Marshall's Great Captain by : Kathy Wilson
Download or read book Marshall's Great Captain written by Kathy Wilson and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 3, 1943, dozens of airplanes could be seen flying in and out of Royal Air Force Bovingdon Airfield near London, England. Among the aircraft seen that day was a B-24D bomber named Hot Stuff, which carried the Commanding General of US Forces in Europe, Lieutenant General Frank M. Andrews—the officer charged with formulating a plan to invade the European continent. Speculation was that General George C. Marshall had called Andrews back to Washington, DC, leading many to believe that Marshall had another promotion in store for Andrews. Tragically, Andrews would never arrive. While attempting to land in Iceland, the bomber crashed into the side of a mountain, with no survivors other than the tail gunner; Andrews's personal papers were also destroyed. In Marshall's Great Captain: Lieutenant General Frank M. Andrews, author Kathy Wilson details Andrews's extraordinary life and career. The first biography dedicated to the namesake of Joint Base Andrews, this book sheds a light on Andrews's crucial role in orchestrating US involvement in World War II, as well as the professional relationship and rapport that Andrews and Marshall shared. Drawing on extensive research, Wilson raises Andrews's legacy to its legitimate place within the annals of both air power and World War II history and posits that there is a high probability that Andrews, rather than Dwight D. Eisenhower, was Marshall's first choice for the office of Supreme Allied Commander. Marshall recounted that Andrews was the only one he had a chance to prepare for such a command.

Book Synopsis Marshall: Lessons in Leadership by : H. Paul Jeffers
Download or read book Marshall: Lessons in Leadership written by H. Paul Jeffers and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2010-06-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General George C. Marshall was a skillful and compassionate leader with a unique legacy. He never fired a shot during WWII and led no troops into battle—his brilliance was purely strategic and diplomatic, and incredibly effective. He was responsible for the building, supplying, and, in part, the deployment of over eight million soldiers. In 1947, as Secretary of State, he created the Marshall Plan, a sweeping economic recovery effort that pulled the war-shattered European nations out of ruin, and gave impetus to NATO and the European Common Market. It was for the Marshall Plan that he won the Nobel Peace Prize—the only time in history a military commander has ever been awarded this honor. Marshall's skilled combination of military strategy and politics, emphasis on planning as well as execution, and his expertise in nation-building holds lessons for military and civilian leaders today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let’s say you’re the coach of the Minnesota Vikings, deciding which players should start in a Super Bowl matchup against the toughest team in the AFC. But instead of choosing from the current roster, you have every player in the team’s 60-year history in your locker room. Who starts at quarterback: scrambling Fran Tarkenton, gunslinger Daunte Culpepper, or deadly accurate Kirk Cousins? At defensive end, do you play fearsome Carl Eller, fan favorite Jared Allen, sack specialist Chris Doleman, or stalwart Jim Marshall? Combining career stats, common sense, and a host of intangibles, veteran sportswriter Chris Tomasson imagines an embarrassment of riches and sets the all-time All-Star Vikings lineup for the ages.

Download or read book Marshall written by William Frye and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you think of biography as the static record of a man’s achievement, compiled during twenty or more mellowing years, William Frye’s book will have the impact of an electric shock. Marshall: Citizen Soldier is not to be leafed through idly, just as George Catlett Marshall himself cannot be regarded passively. That deceptively mild manner of his, as buck privates, brass hats and not a few politicos have discovered, only indifferently conceals a driving determination, backed by an inner steel core of moral integrity and joined with a lifetime’s habit of command. The general public has not given Marshall the excited, short-lived adulation that it has heaped upon more flamboyantly dramatic military men. But the people recognized in George Marshall the citizen’s soldier to whom they could safely entrust the most vital post in an America at war—Chief of Staff of the United States Army. The acceptance by Marshall early in 1947 of one of the greatest appointive offices in our government, that of Secretary of State, a job today of world significance, leaves no doubt either of the abilities of the man or of his devotion to the public weal. For the dearest wish of the erstwhile Chief of Staff had been a quiet retirement at the end of his Army duties. Marshall began his career in unorthodox fashion by graduating from the V.M.I. instead of West Point. Even on routine tours of duty in the Philippines, in the States and later in China he was singled out by senior officers as a young man of remarkable ability. During World War I, Marshall asked for command duty in France. His superiors rushed him abroad but they realized that Major Marshall was hard-to-get staff officer material, not slated for a regular front-line assignment. William Frye as Marshall’s biographer comes into touch with some of the knottiest questions of the war years. He does not sidestep issues and controversies; he meets them with decision.

Book Synopsis Harry S. Truman by : Robert H. Ferrell
Download or read book Harry S. Truman written by Robert H. Ferrell and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2013-07-22 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few U.S. presidents have captured the imagination of the American people as has Harry S. Truman, “the man from Missouri.” In this major new biography, Robert H. Ferrell, widely regarded as an authority on the thirty-third president, challenges the popular characterization of Truman as a man who rarely sought the offices he received, revealing instead a man who—with modesty, commitment to service, and basic honesty—moved with method and system toward the presidency. Truman was ambitious in the best sense of the word. His powerful commitment to service was accompanied by a remarkable shrewdness and an exceptional ability to judge people. He regarded himself as a consummate politician, a designation of which he was proud. While in Washington, he never succumbed to the “Potomac fever” that swelled the heads of so many officials in that city. A scrupulously honest man, Truman exhibited only one lapse when, at the beginning of 1941, he padded his Senate payroll by adding his wife and later his sister. From his early years on the family farm through his pivotal decision to use the atomic bomb in World War II, Truman’s life was filled with fascinating events. Ferrell’s exhaustive research offers new perspectives on many key episodes in Truman’s career, including his first Senate term and the circumstances surrounding the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. In addition, Ferrell taps many little-known sources to relate the intriguing story of the machinations by which Truman gained the vice presidential nomination in 1944, a position which put him a heartbeat away from the presidency. No other historian has ever demonstrated such command over the vast amounts of material that Robert Ferrell brings to bear on the unforgettable story of Truman’s life. Based upon years of research in the Truman Library and the study of many never-before-used primary sources, Harry S. Truman is destined to become the authoritative account of the nation’s favorite president.

Book Synopsis The Crimes of the Economy by : Vincenzo Ruggiero
Download or read book The Crimes of the Economy written by Vincenzo Ruggiero and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economists have often paid visits to the field of criminology, examining the rational logic of offending. When economists examine criminal activity, they imply that offenders should be treated like any other social actor making rational choices. In The Crimes of the Economy, Vincenzo Ruggiero turns the tables by examining a variety of economic schools of thought from a criminological perspective. Each one of these schools, he argues, justifies or even encourages harm produced by economic initiative. He investigates – among others – John Locke’s notion of private property, Mercantilism, the Physiocrats and Malthus, and the arguments of Adam Smith, Marshall, Keynes and neoliberalism. In each of these, the author identifies the potential justification of different forms of ‘crimes of the economy’ and victimisation. This book re-examines the history of economic thought, assessing it as the history of a discipline which, while attempting to gain scientific status, in reality seeks to make the social harm caused by economics acceptable. The book will be interesting and relevant to students and scholars of social theory, criminology, economics, philosophy and politics.
