just when you think the icon, george marshall, can do no wrong the self-centered one comes off as a pretty valuable strategist to have around. when i've reviewed napoleon, the magnificent napoleon the great, i thought, are you really going to let napoleon have it? they did not. they did crumble the rapid destruction that napoli and wrought, but at the end, they said, with all this, he kept up much of the revolutionary idealism and fervor from the good side of the french revolution. and then he institutionalized it. and i think the same is true with this magnificent new biography of george the third. i think that he is trying to tell us, and i do not think he went so far at this point to tell us that unfortunately we missed out on being good canadians. he says to all of us, yes, we were very patriotic. we were idealistic. we fought, ferociously, against the british. part of our success was the georgia third not being a cop tyrant of continental europe. actually, a humane man who is much easier to rebel against ben not. with that, help me welcome andrew roberts. ladies and gentlemen, it is a

george marshall, who was a secretary of state of new york over the us, received it. and people were very critical and curious because he had been a combatant. but it was because of his post war activities. in 2009, brock obama received the peace prize after being in office barely 8 months and years, something interesting. in times of your there were there, there were very careful as sometimes not even given out during world war one. there was no peace prize from 39 to 43. there were no peace prizes. and in 1948. i believe the year that mama gandhi a died, they said no one was entitled to it. so think about this. it was very, very selective. it was very particular as to who even received it. nomination is another story. so here we are trying to, to handicap why some one did not wind something. there were virtually innumerable reasons for that. but if you look at the history of it, very rarely, if never, has there been an actual combatant, in what would call either a military operation or a war who received aid peace prize for i think, obvious reasons for what you may

you have a change in leadership in george marshall. you have a more receptive person but a totally organized and focused campaign with an ally in eleanor roosevelt. eugene bullard will be the first african-american to fly combat if missions for the french during world war i, and he is the only one. >> thank you. >> ladies and gentlemen, if you can join me one more time in thinking

who was enormously influential and who truman, i would almost say he almost had a man crush on george marshall and they both were against this early recognition of israel and that's where truman's feelings took over. >> you've studied both eisenhower and truman. they came to the presidency from different angles. what are the difficulties of becoming commander in chief, a politician becoming commander-in-chief, versus a military man having become a presidential politician? how do the two of them cope with those differing historical roles that they themselves had? >> forgive me a bit of eisenhower discussion, because i feel as though i got to know him. and i think for eisenhower, it was almost a step down. he had made a really big decision. operation overlord was a really big decision where the lives of i don't know how many allied troops were at risk. after the presidency, he wanted to be called general, not mister president. >> he was still a politician, he had to be one. >> yeah, and he was also -- we were really lucky to have him at that time. i am thinking of the wars we did not get into be

one of the things to add to why you have a bit of a change is you have a change in leadership george marshall he is not john pershing. so you have more receptive ideas. but also you have a totally focused organist move it with the w campaign that is going to push for, and also an ally with eleanor roosevelt to get black officers, black soldiers to fly. but eugene bowler is going to be the first african american to fly combative missions for the french are world war i. he is the only one. ? it >> think. you know problem. >> ladies and gentlemen, if you don't want my time and thinking doctor latrice donaldson. -american history museum is being built in charleston, south carolina. >> mayor, do you want to

under which american aid to europe in 1947 was expected to be based, american secretary of state george marshall post-war reconstruction of europe the united states flooded the destroyed continent with loans in order to so that europeans buy american goods and at the same time increase their own production, so that later they can pay off these loans with industrial assets and sovereignty in political terms, ukraine has long turned into an american colony with respect to the rest, this is how much strength is enough. at least washington in europe has an overseer so that this does not harm the us itself i am shocked that parliaments are not involved in the decisions that are made in europe and indeed ms. vondarlein is today the press secretary of nato she adheres to the line so strongly alliance and i would even say that there is no difference between what is said the pentagon and the cia and she write and control her words in the usa apparently, the overstrain of europe, partly related to the need to carry the main time of anti-russian sanctions, is already read on the faces of politicians, the d

there's no mention of george marshall or truman or the other allied leaders. combined with the landing at soggy, he gives the impression that he is all powerful and omnipotent in some sense. is he on its own in japan? does he have total control with no oversight? of course not. he's under the control of truman, the j e s and the far east commission. he is also supposed to be under the control of something called the allied council for japan. he will wrinkle free from that last commission i mentioned but for all intents and purposes he is under the control of allied leaders and president truman. he's not on its own and japan. but he does in, terms of the japanese people, trying to position himself as the front of all authority in japan. his personality and leadership style are pretty well suited to reinforcing this concept and this perception in japan. and legitimacy. how, when you start an operation, occupation, do you let the occupied people know that you are at the legitimate ruler? early in the occupation, mcarthur's center message telling him that he doesn

there is no mention of george marshall or president truman for the other allied leaders this gives the japanese the impression he has all power in a blip in a sense of. is he on his own in japan? does he have control or oversight? of course he's under the authority of truman, the jcs in the far eastern commission produce also supposed to be under the control of something called the allied counsel for japan. he will wiggle free from that last commission i just mentioned. but, for all intensive purposes he is under the control of allies leaders president truman. he is not on his own in japan. but he does in terms of the japanese people try to position himself as the fonts of sole authority in japan. his personality and leadership style are pretty suited to reinforcing this concept and perception in japan. and legitimacy. how, when he started occupation with the occupy people know you are now in the ruler? early in the occupation sent a message telling him he does not need to confirm himself of the status of the emperor. he is basically to understand he is the authority in japan. the empe

was enormously influential who truly almost i would almost say i almost say had a man crush on george marshall and and both they both came they both were against this early recognition of israel. so that's what i'm feelings took over. you've studied both eisenhower and truman and they came to the presidency from different angles. what are the difficulties? of becoming commander-in-chief of politician becoming commander in chief. versus a military man having to become a presidential politician. how do the two of them cope with those differing roles historical roles that they themselves have. forgive me a bit of eisenhower discussion now because i just i i feel like i feel as though i got to know him and i think i think for eisenhower it was almost a step down. he had made a really big decisions. the operation overlord was a really big decision with the lives of i don't know how many americans i mean how many how many allied troops? we're at risk he after he after the presidency. he wanted to be called general general not fred, not mr. president. he was still the politician. he had to be one. ye

give a penny the author of the european reconstruction program was us secretary of state george catlit marshalls military policy and the essence of military politicians' thinking is to capture and hold and the purpose of this plan was to take control of the whole of europe absolutely everything all european countries, but take and hold under their economic partnership, as was said in this plan, but what economic partnership consists of is to control everything that countries produce to control the market and control all social life, the countries that accepted help were western, germany belgium austria luxembourg denmark greece france ireland ireland italy norway former triplets netherlands portugal switzerland great britain sweden and turkey received aid from the usa in addition to western europe japan and some other asian countries. the funniest thing in this regard is that it was european money, which the americans accumulated as a gold reserve of several european countries, and with this money they imitated the required amount of european money. currencies for these gold reserves and with t

so in an amazing act of putting country first, thurgood marshall fans in his his resignation letter to george. w. bush knowing full well the person they would replace them was not up to his level. that is what he did for the country. he didn't die in 1988 he died in january 1993, two weeks after bill clinton was inaugurated president. never let them tell you that the justices they have on the court now are --. always fight for the ideals that thurgood marshall had and not the lesser people that have come to take his place. >> give it up for this panel.

george paton, and he is commanding u.s. army guard, and he is being greeted by the lord mayor. and they became best friends, and rommel became best friends with field marshalmontgomery's son. now they have all passed away but they took that legacy like a baton in a relay race, and they turned it over to their daughters, and the lady holding the dog's general paton's daughter, the granddaughter of the world war ii general patton, and the lady in the white trenchcoat is rumbles granddaughter. the granddaughter of rubble. and here they are greeting an american world war ii veteran at a commemoration some room one. so they are passing the torch of the western nato countries which today we find so critical with the tragedy ongoing in ukraine. and that is a legacy of erwin rommel and george paton. thank you. [applause] yes, sir? >> if you have questions please go over to the microphone enough them so they can get picked up. >> thank you. >> i was wondering if you had any theories regarding why patton never made it to where he should have been and how he could have been dispatched with a leg injury? >> everyone thinks that, on the outside, but looking into the mi

marshal alluded to and (indiscernible) was chair of our school council, we were excited about vision 2025. it looked at the whole child. this just feels like george w. bush's no child left behind in a lot of ways. it's a very small, very specific group mostly on test scores. it feels retrograde and i'm -- what we have seen in other cities is that low test scores are sometimes used as a part of the narrative to close public schools. and just -- (indiscernible) to a lot of folks here and i'm a former teacher so there's real-estate money that went in towards recalling through three of our school numbers and a lot of us are very concerned that this real-estate is just seen by a lot of people as a way, a lot of people are wanting to close their schools and use real-estate for other things so i encourage you to have more compassion for a lot of the communities that are speaking out against this plan which doesn't really have any specifics and just is quite frankly much worse than vision 2025 in my opinion. thank you. >> thank you. laura. >> hi everyone. my name is laura. i'm a parent at sfusd. i'd like to say thank you for the effort. thank you for the
