Editorial Reviews
Army Magazine, September 2002
Affectionate, tightly written and comprehensive, this is a masterful distillation of the essence of Matthew Ridgway--soldier, statesman and scholar.
Book Description
Matthew B. Ridgway was a significant figure in United States history. He commanded the 82nd Airborne Division in the invasion in Europe; he succeeded MacArthur in Korea; he was the U.S. delegate to the United Nations; he served as Supreme Commander of the Far East and Supreme Commander in Europe. He was counselor to four presidents, helped found a university research center on national security, and was a powerful influence in national affairs for 40 years. Using Ridgway's personal papers, George Mitchell offers a unique and compelling view of this authentic American hero.
