I just ran across a new George Marshall biography:
George Marshall: A Biography by Debi Unger, Irwin Unger, and Stanley Hirshson (Author)
I have not yet managed to examine a hardcover copy of this title, but the preview pages available online are excellent.

I have this book on my Amazon wish list. I have long admired Marshall for his character. We could use a few people like him today.

Damb you >1 suburbguy:, I have just started reading Eyes only the top secret correspondence between Marshall and Eisenhower by Andrew Rawson and I suspect I have another book about Rooservelt and his Generals which has a potted
biography of Marshall. Your suggestion sounds like something I must add to my TBR pile. Yes Marshall was a great man!

However, Carlo d'Este (!!) in his Wall Street Journal review of this book claims : "Although published some years ago, Forrest C. Pogue’s tour-volume official biography (1963-87) and Ed Cray’s “General of the Army” (1990) remain the standard accounts."

What was the date of the WSJ book review by Carlo d'Este?
The Amazon.com reviews of the new book suggest that the authors were too critical of General Marshall.

I had this on my Amazon.com Wish List, but the reviews on Amazon were not impressed by the book. I have Pogue's four-volume set, so I scratched the other book from my list.
