Volume 1: The Soldierly Spirit

These papers describe Marshall’s education at the Virginia Military Institute and his early military experience in France, the Philippines, and China.  Included are accounts of his days as aide-de-camp to legendary General John J. Pershing and of his tenure as assistant commandant of the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia, where he trained such distinguished World War II-era commanders as Omar Bradley, Matthew Ridgway, Joseph Stilwell, and Bedell Smith.  Through these pages, the reader gains a new appreciation of the tactical brilliance and superb organizational skills that carried Marshall to his greatest success.
