Brief description:
What are the thoughts, emotions and adventures of a man and woman who travel side by side - always together - along the winding road that leads from obscurity to the heights of fame?
In 1930 the Author married a Lieutenant Colonel who was destined to become one of the greatest
military leaders in history and a statesman whose full stature cannot even yet be measured.
How did he gain this position? How did he discipline his body and mind to perform the most
exacting military task of all times? And what part did she play? What were the dominant characteristics of the people she met -the great and near great? What amusing mistakes did she make? And above all, what Were the human qualities, the moods, likes and dislikes, the real character of the man about whose life so little is known that he seems almost a legendary figure, and about whom it has been said: "Millions of Americans gave their country outstanding service. General of the Army George C. Marshall gave it Victory!
With delightful friendliness, humor and charm, Katherine Tupper Marshall, wife of our war-time Chief of Staff and present Secretary of State, answers these and countless other absorbing questions. Into an unforgettable tapestry she weaves world shaping events and everyday incidents of the home wherein humor contrasts with deep emotions.
Together is one of the most heartening books of a dark decade. Also, as General Marshall
will not write his own memoirs, it is a most important book. Aside from its topical subject matter, it is one of the great love stories of our time.
