Synopsis

A unique look at the complex relationship between two of America's foremost World War II leaders

The first book ever to explore the relationship between George Marshall and Dwight Eisenhower, Partners in Command eloquently tackles a subject that has eluded historians for years. As Mark Perry charts the crucial impact of this duo on victory in World War II and later as they lay the foundation for triumph in the Cold War, he shows us an unlikely, complex collaboration at the heart of decades of successful American foreign policy—and shatters many of the myths that have evolved about these two great men and the issues that tested their alliance. As compelling as it is vitally informative, this work is a signal accomplishment.

One of the best stories of WWII is how Generals Marshall and Eisenhower developed a strategic partnership to guide the Allies to victory. Both were superb military leaders as well as statesmen. The British strategy to hit the Germans in the Med was without doubt the correct path. North Africa, Sicil......more

Goodreads review by Greg on November 29, 2010

I read this book from a different perspective than most readers of biographies - biography junkies, and WW II history buffs - it was assigned by my CEO to us (all his management) because it is one of the best books on leadership ever written. There are incredible lessons to be learned from the inter......more
