Description
Book SynopsisMarshall retired at the beginning of 1949, but his respite from public service would be short-lived.
Trade ReviewThe edited volumes of Marshall's papers have always enjoyed the reputation for superb editorship and clarity. Stoler and his team deserve credit for maintaining the high quality of the previous five volumes. Readers anxiously await the seventh-and final-volume in the series. -- COL Cole C. Kingseed, USA Ret. Army This book, like others in the series, will be of great value to scholars of twentieth-century U.S. history. The editor's masterly work in selecting, organizing, and annotating the documents provides valuable context and helpful references to other resources. -- Brian Madison Jones Journal of American History
