H. Paul Jeffers and Alan Axelrod
Marshall
Lessons in Leadership (Great Generals)
Palgrave Macmillan, 2010
¿De qué se trata?
Even though he never led troops in battle, George Marshall’s military genius helped the Allies win World Wars I and II.
Recommendation
George Catlett Marshall Jr., a revered soldier and statesman, served as US Army chief of staff during World War II and later as secretary of state and secretary of defense. A born leader, Marshall was, as Sir Winston Churchill described him, “the noblest Roman of them all.” He stood resolute for what he believed and, as authors H. Paul Jeffers and Alan Axelrod make clear, the world is a better place because he did. Indeed, Europe would not exist in its present state if not for the Marshall Plan that rebuilt its shattered nations after World War II. getAbstract recommends Jeffers and Axelrod’s short, readable biography to those interested in the attributes that leadership demands, as demonstrated by the luminous life of George Marshall.
