America's Retreat From Victory; The Story Of George Catlett Marshall

America's Retreat from Victory; The Story of George Catlett Marshall

by Joseph McCarthy

Senator Joseph McCarthy's book scrutinizes the career of General George Catlett Marshall, particularly his post-World War II role in shaping American foreign policy. It delves into Marshall's diplomatic missions, including his time as the United States Special Envoy to China, and his tenure as Secretary of State in the late 1940s. The book seeks to examine how Marshall's decisions, particularly his involvement in the Chinese Civil War, contributed to the establishment of Communist China in 1949. McCarthy's perspective, known for its strong anti-communist leanings, frames this account of Marshall's actions as a critical juncture in the early Cold War.
