I am overdue for reading a good biography or George C. Marshall. I think he was an outstanding man and not given nearly enough historical credit. But that’s probably because, in addition to being a damn fine CoS, as Secretary of State he was the father of the strategy of “Containment,” which ultimately worked and saw the fall of Soviet Communism.
And that’s probably why modern universities don’t want to mention him.
The idea of a retired General becoming a successful Secretary of State and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize makes liberal heads explode. And they have total amnesia about the evils of totalitarian marxism and the triumph well, mostly) of the West over it.
