Leaders in War: George Marshall

When General George C. Marshall became U.S. Army Chief of Staff on September 1, 1939—the same day that Adolf Hitler invaded Poland—the American Army numbered 190,000 and was utterly untested. By the war’s end it numbered 8.2 million and was victorious on every front. Historian Andrew Roberts examines Marshall’s central role in this transformation and in developing U.S. strategy to defeat the Axis.
