The Letters of George C. Marshall and Winston S. Churchill, examines the remarkable correspondence of these two great twentieth- century leaders, whose relationship was forged in the crucible of world war.
The document, and photograph facsimiles, along with original artifacts, come from our own collection, as well as the Churchill Archives Centre in Cambridge, England, the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library, and the George C. Marshall Research Library in Lexington, Virginia. They reveal a relationship of deep mutual respect between these two 20th century leaders, despite backgrounds and personalities that seemed polar opposites.
