George Marshall and Dwight Eisenhower formed arguably the most important military partnership of World War II, but the nature of their relationship has eluded historians for years. This is an extraordinary portrait of an often ignored - and misunderstood - alliance between two iconic figures and the ways in which their unusual partnership would ultimately shape years of American foreign policy.

The first book ever to explore the relationship between George Marshall and Dwight Eisenhower, Partners in Command eloquently tackles a subject that has eluded historians for years. As Mark Perry charts the crucial impact of this duo on victory in World War II and later as they lay the foundation for triumph in the Cold War, he shows us an unlikely, complex collaboration at the heart of decades of successful American foreign policy-and shatters many of the myths that have evolved about these two great men and the issues that tested their alliance. As exciting to read as it is vitally informative, this work is a signal accomplishment.
