David Roll will speak about his latest work, "George Marshall: Defender of the Republic". Thomas E. Ricks of The New York Times writes, "I’ve read several biographies of Marshall, but I think Roll’s may be the best of the bunch. Some historians write about combat well, others are stronger on politics and policy, but Roll . . . handles both areas deftly.” The Wall Street Journal: "For a life that has been subjected to so much spilled ink, Mr. Roll has managed to encapsulate George C. Marshall’s inner voice better than any previous work." And General David Petraeus notes: “A hugely significant book…David Roll provides a portrait of Marshall that is far more penetrating and nuanced than past biographies.”
