About This Item
University Press of Kansas, 2015-04-20T00:00:01Z. First Edition. Hardcover. Like New/Fine. 100x24x152. Signed by Author. George C. Marshall once called him the brains of the army. And yet General Lesley J. McNair (1883-1944), a man so instrumental to America's military preparedness and Army modernization, remains little known today, his papers purportedly lost, destroyed by his wife in her grief at his death in Normandy. This book, the product of an abiding interest and painstaking research, restores the general Army Magazine calls one of Marshall's forgotten men to his rightful place in American military history. Because McNair contributed so substantially to America's war preparedness, this first complete account of his extensive and varied career also leads to a reevaluation of U.S. Army effectiveness during WWII. Because McNair served primarily in staff roles throughout his career and did not command combat formations during WWII, his contribution has never received the attention given to more public--and publicized--military exploits. In its detail and scope, this first full military biography reveals the unique and valuable perspective McNair's generalship offers for the serious student of military history and leadership. About the Author: After a twenty-year career as an Army Aviator and military operational planner, Mark T. Calhoun now serves as an associate professor at the United States Army's School of Advanced Military Studies.
