Authorities Consulted. Index. DJ has flap clipped, wear, soiling, tears and chips. Pencil erasure residue on fep. General Sir James Handyside Marshall-Cornwall KCB, CBE, DSO, MC (27 May 1887 - 1985) was a British Army officer and linguist. On the outbreak of World War I Cornwall joined the Intelligence Corps at Le Havre. In 1918, Cornwall was posted to the War Office as head of the MI3 section of the military intelligence directorate. In 1919, Cornwall was sent to the peace conference in Paris, where he worked on the new boundaries of Europe. In 1927, Cornwall was sent to China with the Royal Artillery (Shanghai Defence Force). From 1928 to 1932 he held the post of military attaché in Berlin. In 1934 Marshall-Cornwall was promoted major-general. In 1938, he was promoted to lieutenant-general, in charge of the air defence of Great Britain. In April 1941 Marshall-Cornwall became General Officer Commanding the British troops in Egypt. Marshall-Cornwall took over Western Command in November 1941, but was dismissed in the autumn of 1942 for going outside the proper channels to secure the safety of the Liverpool docks. He spent the rest of the war with the Special Operations Executive and MI6, attempting to promote better relations between them. He retired from the army in 1943. Between 1948 and 1951, he was editor-in-chief of captured German archives at the Foreign Office, and wrote military history. He was president of the Royal Geographical Society (1954-8). General Sir James Marshall-Cornwall analyzes Grant's transformation into one of the great military commanders of all time, by comparison with the acknowledged masters of strategy and tactics, and by his personal experience of military leadership. In 1861, when the Civil War began, Ulysses S. Grant was an ill-paid, somewhat-drunken, 38-year-old clerk in the township of Galena, Illinois. Four years later, when he received the surrender of the Confederate forces under Robert E. Lee at the historic courthouse of Appomattox, Grant had established himself as one of the great military commanders of all time. How such a transformation, as extraordinary as any in the annals of generalship, came about is made clear in this masterly book. A West Point training and active service in the Mexican War meant that less than a year after joining the Union Army, Grant was already in command of the invasion of Tennessee. Thereafter, the milestones in his achievement are marked by some of the most memorable names in the war: Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, and Petersburg. General Sir James Marshall-Cornwall's approach is illuminating from several points of view. As a student of the Napoleonic campaigns and as the author of military biographies of Massena and of Napoleon himself, Sir James is able to appraise Grant's achievement not merely in he context of the Civil War, but by comparison with the acknowledged masters of strategy and tactics. As a geographer, Sir James is constantly aware of the terrain over which Grant fought and so of the physical considerations by which he was bound. As a serving officer, Sir James shows and awareness - not always shared by armchair strategists - of what the command of troops and the presence of a resourceful enemy actually entail. Ulysses S. Grant, Sir James Marshall-Cornwall believes, was one of he great military commanders of history. This book persuasively sets out the grounds upon which this conviction is based.
