Tom Bowers joins us to discuss his new publication A Tonic to My Spirit: George Catlett Marshall and the American Red Cross. In 1949, shortly after concluding his term as Secretary of State, President Truman appointed five-star General George C. Marshall to be the president of the American Red Cross. The following year found Marshall striving to rehabilitate the image of the Red Cross in the eyes of the enlisted. In spite of his hectic schedule, Tom Bowers argues that this period of Marshall's life of service was perhaps the most personally fulfilling of his career.
