Synopsis
A unique look at the complex relationship between two of America?s foremost World War II leaders
The first book ever to explore the relationship between George Marshall and Dwight Eisenhower, Partners in Command eloquently tackles a subject that has eluded historians for years. As Mark Perry charts the crucial impact of this duo on victory in World War II and later as they lay the foundation for triumph in the Cold War, he shows us an unlikely, complex collaboration at the heart of decades of successful American foreign policy?and shatters many of the myths that have evolved about these two great men and the issues that tested their alliance. As exciting to read as it is vitally informative, this work is a signal accomplishment.

PRAISE FOR MARK PERRY:
“Mark Perry...has made their dual biography the basis for an ambitious book, a history of the North and South from before the war to the end of Reconstruction. That he succeeds so well is remarkable.”
- The New York Times Book Review
“A thoughtful, moving, and wonderfully readable account of two valiant men, the war that brought them together, and the ideologies that ultimately kept them apart.”
- Cleveland Plain Dealer
From Booklist
Perry is a military, intelligence, and foreign-policy analyst and a coordinator of Conflicts Forum, an international political advocacy organization. His absorbing account follows the alliance between two men who must be credited with a substantial role in winning World War II in Europe as well as laying the foundation for postwar foreign policy as the cold war commenced. Alliance is the key word here, since Marshall and Eisenhower never became close friends. Both men disdained pomp and formality. But Marshall was often withdrawn and distant, and he rarely praised subordinates. Eisenhower was outgoing and comfortable in social situations, and he made a point of showing appreciation for those working for him. Yet their personalities seemed to complement each other superbly. This book will be an excellent addition to military-history collections. Freeman, Jay
