ABSTRACT

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Great men exist that there may be greater men.” Based on what great men have said of George C. Marshall—General of the Army and Secretary of State—there was perhaps no greater leader in the twentieth century. Winston Churchill called him the “organizer of victory.” President Eisenhower said of him, “Our people have never been so indebted to any soldier.” President Truman referred to him as the “great one of the age.”
