George C. Marshall Lecture - The George C. Marshall Foundation

The Marshall Foundation and Society for Military History sponsor the George C. Marshall Lecture in Military History. It is aimed at both keeping Marshall’s memory alive and stimulating interest in the study of military history more broadly. This event takes place at the annual American Historical Association meeting each year.
