More About This Book

Overview

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 exciting to read as it is vitally informative, this work is a signal accomplishment.

Editorial Reviews

Washington Post
Plumb[s] the human side of the relationship between Marshall and Eisenhower.

Meet the Author

Mark Perry’s books include Conceived in Liberty, a main selection of the History Book Club. An award-winning writer, he has written on history, the Middle East conflict, and American foreign policy for numerous magazines and newspapers.

PRAISE FOR MARK PERRY:

“Mark Perry…has made their dual biography the basis for an ambitious book, a history of the North and South from before the war to the end of Reconstruction. That he succeeds so well is remarkable.”
- The New York Times Book Review

“A thoughtful, moving, and wonderfully readable account of two valiant men, the war that brought them together, and the ideologies that ultimately kept them apart.”
- Cleveland Plain Dealer

    A new take

    I really enjoyed this view of Generals Eisenhower and Marshall. By chronicling Eisenhower's development and growth as a leader fostered by Marshall, the author provides a unique perspective on Eisenhower, but also a wonderful, balanced portrayal of Marshall as well. None of us develops without interaction with others and most leaders have a mentor. The author does not directly make the case that neither Eisenhower nor Marshall would have been as successful without the other, but both their personalities and skills portrayed in this book make a strong case that both were uniquely suited for the jobs they had. The U.S. may still have prevailed in World War II had one or the other, or both, not been in the position they were in, but how battles played out may have been different. This was a very readable and interesting view of two great men.
