4 out of 5 stars obvious historical interest.......2000-10-13

It was the story I had been looking for all my life! A good man, ambitious. But so busy helping others, life seems to pass him by. Despondent. He wishes he had never been born. He gets his wish. Through the eyes of a guardian angel he sees the world as it would have been had he not been born. Wow! What an idea. The kind of idea that when I get old and sick and scared and ready to die -- they'll say, 'He made The Greatest Gift.' -Frank Capra

I'm sure your family does it too, sit around watching It's a Wonderful Life and speaking all of the lines moments ahead of the characters. Younger folk may not recall that in the early 80's, before Republic Pictures reclaimed the copyright to the movie, it was on literally dozens of times from Thanksgiving to New Years every year. And we all watched it, every single showing. Somehow the upbeat message about the individual's capacity to change the world for the better achieved a special resonance in those heady Reagan Era days of promise. Now it's shown on a network just once a season as an attempt at Event programming, but every red blooded American family owns a videotape and pops it in at least a few times over the holidays.

Turns out, the movie was based on a story by respected Civil War historian, Philip Van Doren Stern (one assumes he's from The Van Doren family of Quiz Show fame). The story sprang full blown from Van Doren's head while he was shaving on the morning of Feb. 12, 1938. He rewrote it several times and then in 1943 sent it to his agent to see if he could get a magazine to buy it. Unbelievably, they all turned it down. So he had a couple hundred copies made and sent them to friends in their Christmas cards. Someone showed the story to Frank Capra when he was looking for a project after the War ended and, if the quote above is to be believed, he instantly realized that he had an American classic in his hands.

The story itself is much more spare than the movie. Characters like Uncle Billy, Violet Bick, Ernie and Bert and even Mr. Potter are all missing. But the essential tale, of George Pratt contemplating suicide and a guardian angel intervening to show him the effect he has had on the lives of others, remains. This is one of those rare instances where a movie actually improves upon the written version, but the story is still quite affecting and has obvious historical interest.

3 out of 5 stars Historical Christmas Romance.......2005-11-04

From the back cover:

A season of love and giving:

"The Greatest Gift" by Stella Cameron
With Christmas approaching, a kindly nanny and an impish little boy conspire to help a gentle Cornish maid win the heart of a lonely widower.

"Falling Stars" by Loretta Chase
'Tis the season for forgiveness, as a gallant gentleman renews his acquaintance with the enchanting lady who spurned him ten years before--and rekindles Yuletide fires of love and longing.

"The Scent of Snow" by Linda Lael Miller
In America's West, a desperate woman trapped in a web of lies discovers new hope for romance at Christmastime--through an act of faith...and the steadfast devotion of a handsome farmer.

"Footsteps in the Snow" by Joan Hohl
A Christmas Eve miracle transports a sad and beautiful innkeeper two hundred years into the past--to discover the glorious ecstasy of true and timeless love in the arms of a dashing colonial spy.

And my review:

Stella Cameron's had many good elements, including the endearing child and matchmaking nanny. But I didn't feel that the threads of the story really wove together well. There just wasn't that spark to the characters that makes them live on in your mind once you finish reading. Also, at the beginning of the book, I think the author really hit a sour note with her reference to the hero's affair with a MARRIED woman. I couldn't really like the guy much after that. (Previous relationship - fine. Previous relationship where he's making his partner break her wedding vows - reprehensible.) It felt really unnecessary for the story, and it was only two sentences, so I really think that the author should have left that element out. Three stars.

I couldn't even finish Loretta Chase's story. She wanted to make a story of reunited love where both the characters were mired in the past. The problem was, they kept switching back from past to present so often that you got confused as to what was actually happening, and what was memory. I read romance for entertainment, not as something to agonize my brain over trying to keep everything straight. One star.

Linda Lael Miller's story was much more enjoyable, though not her best. I thought I might not like a lying heroine, but she had a good reason for doing what she did, and she really hadn't intended to hurt anyone. (If you want to read a really good historical Christmas romance by this author, try "A Springwater Christmas". Though it's part of a series, it stands perfectly well on it's own - I never read any of the rest of the series.) Still, this story was enjoyable - I never had to push myself to finish it. Four stars.

Joan Hohl's story was also quite enjoyable. I love time-travel stories, so this one was right up my alley. Some authors can do this concept well, and some can't. This author does a pretty good job considering that she has less than 100 pages to work with. Four stars.

This is a borderline keeper, though it has a better collection than most anthologies, where you're lucky to get even one story worth reading. This one only had one story that wasn't worth reading. Three stars overall.

4 out of 5 stars Very pleasant stories .......2004-12-02

I bought this book for the Loretta Chase story "Falling Stars", which is lovely, but all the stories are good ones, very readable. It's so rare to find an anthology with all the stories equally good...this is one to keep.

    5 out of 5 stars Simple and yet powerful.......2005-12-18

    The Bible tells of the three wise men, Magi, who came from the East, following a star to the newly born King of the Jews. But, there was a fourth wise man, Artaban, who sold all that he had, and acquired three jewels, to give as his gift to the babe. But, when Artaban stops to help a sick man, he is delayed and misses accompanying the other three, and so he must set off alone. This is the story of the fourth wise man, who seeks the King of the Jews, and finds him in the most unlikely of places.

    This is an absolutely wonderful story. It takes the famous 1896 story, written by Henry Van Dyke (1852-1933), and puts it in simple and yet powerful words which can be read by the younger reader. But, this isn't just a kids' book. Indeed, the author wrote an excellent parable for all Christians, telling a powerful story in an easy-to-understand manner. I loved the story, and Jackie Morris's excellent illustrations.

    I am glad to have this book, and highly recommend it to everyone!

    3 out of 5 stars Sweet book .......2004-11-22

    Charming 'naif' style paintings, while the text is based on Henry Van Dykes story of 4 wise men.

    4 wise men set out to find the King of Kings and this is the story of the last one, Artaban.

    Because compassion delayed him, time and again, he spends many years searching. However, to everyone he encounters, Artaban behaved with greatest charity until at last he reaches Damascus and gives away his last posession and gift.

    The emphasis of the story is on Artaban living by the principals which Jesus would teach without discriminating against peoples of different faiths or races.

    The described goal of the book: "showing how we can turn disappointment to good account; and how our outer journey through life is mirrored by the inner journey of the soul."

    I rather liked it. The illustrations are simple watercolours and quite nice, with a good map at the front, and are a fine accompaniment to the story.

    It's a nice story for Christmas or any time.

                Book Description

                The depth and significance of the relationship between George Marshall and Dwight Eisenhower has eluded historians for years. In Partners in Command, acclaimed historian and journalist Mark Perry gets to the heart of arguably the most fateful partnership in American military history, a union of two very different men bound by an epic common purpose. He follows Marshall and Eisenhower's collaboration from the major battles in North Africa and Italy to the planning and execution of the D-Day invasion, the crisis of the Battle of the Bulge, and the postwar implementation of the Marshall Plan, and the establishment of Eisenhower's leadership of NATO. erry shows that Marshall and Eisenhower were remarkably close colleagues who brilliantly combined strengths and offset each other's weaknesses in their strategic planning, on the battlefields, and in their mutual struggle to overcome the bungling, political sniping, and careerism of both British and American commanders that infected nearly every battle and campaign. Finally, Marshall and Eisenhower collaborated in crafting the foreign policy and military infrastructure that became the foundation for winning the Cold War.

                From their first meeting after Pearl Harbor in 1941, Marshall and Eisenhower recognized in each other an invaluable military partner-by February 1942, Marshall, who was Army chief of staff, had promoted Eisenhower to head the War Plans Division, where his first job was to write the initial plan to win the war against Japan. Within a few months, Marshall selected Eisenhower as commander of all U.S. forces in the European theater. By early 1944, however, a subtle but major shift had occurred: Marshall the teacher had become Eisenhower's student, Eisenhower having developed the superior grasp of command challenges.

                Partners in Command is an extraordinary portrait of an often ignored alliance between two iconic military figures and the ways in which their unusual collaboration would ultimately shape fifty years of successful American foreign policy.

                5 out of 5 stars Great Reading Even For A Neophyte.......2007-10-12

                Author Mark Perry has provided us with a gem of a book on World War II while concentrating on the relationship between mentor George Marshall and student Dwight Eisenhower. It was not what you would consider a close friendship, but one of guidance in which the student (Eisenhower) eventually surpassed the mentor (Marshall). Throughout his military life Eisenhower sought the guidance of George Marshall. Eisenhower had his hands full after being named head of the European command in World War II, and his mentor, Marshall, was always available to assist even though Marshall, himself, would have loved to have the command. Some felt Marshall would have too much power as part of the combined Chiefs of Staff in addition to head of the European command. Marshall, however, wanted President Roosevelt to make the appointment without regard to Marshall's opinion. When Ike was concerned about the performance of an officer who was an old friend, Marshall told him that any officer who is retained under you means that you are satisfied with his performance. If you are not you must reassign him or send him home. A quality Marshall admired in subordinates was to stand up to authority and express your own opinions. In other words, don't be afraid to disagree with me. Juggling the egos of men such as Winston Churchill, Bernard Montgomery, Alan Brooke, George Patton, Omar Bradley, Mark Clark, and others who each had their own idea of what should be done where and when was a job requiring a great deal of self discipline. Fox Conner, one of America's greatest military thinkers is all but forgotten now, but he was influential in shaping Marshall's and Eisenhower's approach to warfare. One of his axioms was "never fight unless you have to, never fight alone, and never fight for long." They remained convinced that democracies would win only short wars, not protracted conflicts. I found a wealth of information in this book, and the 400 plus pages will keep you riveted from beginning to end. There are certainly lessons to be learned for those who would hope to lead our country today. Whether they would be open to learning from past leaders is another matter.

                3 out of 5 stars Entertaining but nothing new........2007-09-19

                Partners in Command fits into the somewhat recent trend in history books of focusing in on an historical specific - a battle, a speech, a pivotal month or as in this case, the relationship between two men, George Marshall and Dwight Eisenhower, during a pivotal time in history - and filling in a narrative - with anecdotes, flashbacks, etc - around it. (I don't view this as an inherently bad thing - different readers have different interests). First the good news, in this reader's humble opinion any continued investigation or chronicle of the challenges these two men faced either together or separately and their successes, (and failures), in meeting them is valuable. For whatever reason George Marshall is not only underappreciated today, he seems to have been forgotten. And in hindsight it's very difficult to imagine anyone else on either side of the Atlantic assuming the role Eisenhower did as capably as he did. (This is something FDR intuitively understood.) This book does a very good job in detailing the difficulties faced and the decisions made by these two generals during WWII, often while they were thousands of miles apart with few face to face meetings and under extreme pressure to win the war in Europe.

                Which brings me to the down side - the author may have bit more than he could chew in book of this type, (overview), and it might have been a better idea to conclude with the success of D-Day. (Although selling a publisher at this time on "yet another" D-Day book is probably a difficult task.) Many important topics - build-up of the pre-WWII US military into a fighting force, NATO, the Cold War, the Marshall Plan & post WWII Europe - and individuals - Churchill, FDR, Truman among others - are given, at best, cursory treatment. (The post WWII "peace" part of this book is minimal.) This is understandable in keeping the book to a "readable" length but comes up short of its billing (War & Peace). There are also some unforgivable errors in this book with two whoppers contained within the first 20 pages - the dates of the Battle of Stalingrad and Germany's declaration of war on the US. Hard to comprehend how these slipped through any editing process.

                If you are looking for a starting point in understanding these two men and the US High Command/military management of the European theater in WWII, you've found it. This book is entertaining and very readable. If you are familiar with this period of history and the players, there is really nothing new here.

                5 out of 5 stars A fair and unbiased interpretation of historical facts and personal diaries and notes........2007-08-23

                Positive, revealing and sympathetic to the trials of working with a coalition within a politically charged time. Less negative than the recent "15 Stars". Takes a far less biased interpretation of Eisenhower's and Marshall's personal papers. "15 Stars" is too much biased in favor of the British command staff and war cabinet. A story of a professional relationship between Marshall's astute political savvy and blunt defense of the American military, and Eisenhower's balancing act between the leaders of the allied command and his own generals who were very different in their view of conducting a war. Marshall became a good cabinet member for Truman and Eisenhower was elected president with the trust of the American people.

                5 out of 5 stars Shows how the relationship -worked-.......2007-08-23

                This book shows the strength of the Marshall/Eisenhower relationship, and in particular how that relationship contributed to success in WWII ETO. It also highlights their shared values. (Both individuals owed a lot to Fox Conner, one of the must under-appreciated people in US Military History.)

                A previous reviewer recommended "15 Stars" 15 Stars: Eisenhower, MacArthur, Marshall: Three Generals Who Saved the American Century over this book. I completely disagree. I disliked "15 Stars" is mostly anecdotes/gossip, that fails to show the impact of the relationships. "Partners in Command" succeeds for that very reason.

                One thing to keep in mind as you read either "Partners in Command" or "15 Stars" is to compare the Marshall/Ike relationship (including Marshall's interactions with Henry Stimpson and FDR) to our two most recent examples of senior leadership in the Gulf wars (Desert Storm and our current efforts...)

                Strongly recommended, one of the best books I've read in a long time (and I have several shelves of stuff on Ike and Marshall.)

                4 out of 5 stars Errors shake the reader's confidence.......2007-07-30

                On page 14 of this ambitious dual biography, Mark Perry writes ". . . the Red Army was fighting for its life amid the ruins of Stalingrad." Unfortunately the passage is referring to mid-December 1941. The Battle of Stalingrad started on August 21, 1942, some nine months later. This kind of error is lamentable. It indicates sloppy or worse research by the author and poor fact-checking by the editor(s). It's a red-flag for the reader, of course: how many other errors are lurking in the remaining 385 pages or so?

                Happily not many. But the book is a bit of a slog and slow reading.

                Most of the details will be familiar to any student of WWII. Some of Perry's comments are grating in a way that I can't quite put a name to, such as "Eisenhower was pleased and extolled Patton's successes, though he knew that sooner or later, his best tank commander's profane personality would lead to problems." There is no footnorte, no source for this and it strikes me as gratuitous.

                I'm not sure either that Perry really adds anything to our knowledge of the relationship between Eisenhower and Marshall. All the way through, I had a feeling of "been there, done that".

                On the whole, not a bad book, but not one that I found compellingly interesting. A better choice, I think, is 15 Stars: Eisenhower, MacArthur, Marshall: Three Generals Who Saved the American Century which is even more expansive in its subject matter, covering Eisenhower, Marshall and MacArthur. I must add a caveat: I have been a student of WWII for decades. The newcomer to the study of this conflict may indeed find much more of value in this volume than I.

                4 out of 5 stars A Good Introduction to the Command Relationships of the Civil War.......2006-11-19

                The thesis of this book is one that takes the reader beyond an elementary understanding of the Civil War. Glatthaar's main point throughout the book is that the types of relationships that the commanders in the upper echelons of the military structure had made a tangible difference in the progress and outcome of the war. I think Glatthaar proves his point very well; the chapters on the Lincoln-McClellan, Grant-Sherman, and Lincoln-Grant relationships were particularly convincing. Nevertheless, I think Glatthaar fails to look at other command relationships that don't necessarily fit so neatly into his thesis.

                The most significant example, in my mind, would be the Lee-Longstreet relationship. At the end of this book Glatthaar writes, "It was imperative for leaders to assemble personnel who complemented rather than supplemented their own capabilities, so that they could draw from a wide range of talents to tap into and employ resources most effectively to meet the increasingly complex demands of the war." (p. 236) Certainly I think this is generally true, and hold true throughout the Civil War. However, I think the Lee-Longstreet relationship was more of a complementary nature than the Lee-Jackson relationship was, and yet much success is attributed to the latter. Glatthaar does not explore this issue. Nor Does he link the success/failures of relationships to those on the other side. For example, certainly the Lincoln-McClellan relationship lead to failure due to its own problems; however, that relationship existed while the Lee-Jackson relationship was at its height. The same dynamic can be said to some degree of the Grant-Sherman and Davis-Johnston relationships.

                Aside from the above shortcoming, I think this book was an excellent read that thoroughly defends a unique argument. I also like that the relationships are discussed with an ear for the chronology of the war, so the reader learns about the relationships and the overall trends of the war at the same time. I would recommend this book for anyone looking to step beyond the rudimentary education of the topic that is usually provided in high school.

                5 out of 5 stars Fascinating Read on Civil War Command Relationships.......2006-06-05

                I thoroughly enjoyed Glatthaar's title describing the quality of working relationships between Civil War leaders. Some of the relationships include:

                1. Lee and Jackson
                2. Jefferson Davis and Joseph Johnston
                3. McClellan and Lincoln
                4. Lincoln and Grant
                5. Grant, Sherman, and Porter

                Glatthaar makes a strong case for the Confederacy's ultimate defeat being due to the lack of strong command relationships, particular after Stonewall Jackson's death after Chancellorsville. Granted, the Confederacy could very well have been doomed from the beginning to to a much lower population and manufacturing base. However, the war could have been protracted if certain Confederate generals and politicians would have had better working relationships.

                I particularly liked the section on the cooperation between U.S. Grant and William Sherman of the Union army and Admiral David Porter of the U.S. Navy. Glatthaar argues convincingly that the cooperation between the U.S. Army and Navy played an integral part of the most complete victory of the war at Vicksburg, Mississippi.

                Whatever your opinion, the book is an entertaining read that will challenge you to think about how command relationships can positively or negatively affect the conduct of a war.

                In my humble opinion, leaders from all backgrounds (business, government, ministry, family, etc.) will benefit from the book as they learn more about how important it is to submerge one's ego and pride be able to work well with people to realize ultimate success in any endeavor.

                Highly recommended. Enjoy.


                3 out of 5 stars Partners in Command.......2005-03-21

                Glatthaar argues that command partnerships that worked well on both professional and personal levels were the key to military success in the American Civil War. He gives narrative accounts of several partnerships, both positive and negative -- Lee and Jackson, Lincoln and McClellan, Sherman and Grant, and so on.

                I don't find his thesis all that convincing -- since it doesn't really account for the Union's ability to absorb a long string of failed commanders before Grant -- and am also unconvinced by the personal, psychological portrayals of individual commanders without much detailed supporting evidence from primary sources. At times, Glatthaar makes inexplicable comments like "Most Confederates were a propertied class (Glatthaar, 226)" that seem, if not outright incorrect, at least oversimplified.

                Readers who enjoy the "great man" approach to history may well find this book a pleasant read.

                4 out of 5 stars Interesting view of command relationships.......2002-02-12

                As the author explains in the first section of this book, it is based on a course that he taught at the Army War College about command relationships in the Civil War. Overall, it is an interesting view into the lives, relationships, and correspondance between certain key leaders of the Civil War (Lee and Jackson, Lincoln and McClellan, Grant and Sherman to name a few). Mr. Glatthaar's research and analysis of these relationships is excellent and detailed. For instance, he explains why the relationship between Lincoln and McClellan was so strained (to include an appendix looking at McClellan's personality quirks in modern terms). Or why Jackson and Lee worked so well together, despite a very limited personal friendship.

                Simply put, I learned things from this book that I have not found in other places. One warning: I agree with another reviewer that this book is not for people who are not very familiar with the Civil War. The original course was taught to Senior Army leaders (Colonels) and civilians, so it was geared towards students who understand strategy and tactics. Having said that, I highly recommend this book to any Civil War student, of "Buff" who is interested in learning more about the key leaders who shaped the events of the war, and helped determine its outcome. If you do read it, take a look at the notes and bibliography section. In it, the author gives his recommendations for other books to use for additional info.

                4 out of 5 stars Very good intricate read........1999-07-01

                This book is very good, but probably not a good read if you are a novice reader about the Civil War. You have to have knowledge of the war and know the background of these generals in order to enjoy this book. If you do....it is very good and interesting.
