America's Retreat from Victory; The Story of George Catlett Marshall

Senator Joseph McCarthy examines the life of General George Catlett Marshall, particularly his role in government beginning in 1945 as United States Special Envoy to China, and encompassing his role of Secretary of State in the late 1940's.
