Focusing on defense and security leaders from North America, Europe and Eurasia, 'Marshall Center Conversations' talks a wide spectrum of academics, military experts and others in areas like cyber security, countering illicit trafficking, counter terrorism, international law and more with probing questions and insight you won't find in any other forum. Produced by the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies Public Affairs Office.

General George C. Marshall, chief of staff of the US Army during World War II, faced the daunting task not only of overseeing two theaters of a global conflict but also of selecting the best generals to carry out American grand strategy. Marshall and His Generals is the first and only book to focus entirely on that selection process and the performances, both stellar and disappointing, that followed from it. Stephen Taaffe explores how and why Marshall selected the Army's commanders.

The purpose is to facilitate meaningful conversations on current and historical security challenges, providing listeners with valuable perspectives that contribute to the broader discourse on global security and inspire a new generation of security practitioners and informed citizens.
