The Partnership: George Marshall, Henry Stimson, and the Extraordinary Collaboration That Won World War II

Join us on Thursday, 27 February 2025 @ 6:30 pm as we kick off the 56th year of our annual Perspectives in Military History Lecture series with author Mr. Ted Aldrich. Mr. Aldrich will discuss his new book, The Partnership: George Marshall, Henry Stimson, and the Extraordinary Collaboration That Won World War II, that captures the insightful revelations regarding the major roles played by General George C. Marshall and Henry L. Stimson to prepare America for war and ensure the Allies’ victory in World War II.

Ted Aldrich, a career-long New York-based commodity and trade finance banker, has had a lifelong passion for history. The book has received critical acclaim from historians such as Walter Isaacson, Kai Bird, and Evan Thomas, and his talk features engaging stories about the lives and partnership of Stimson, Marshall, and the Allied leaders they worked with, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and general officers Dwight D. Eisenhower, George S. Patton Jr, Douglas MacArthur, and Omar N. Bradley.

Doors open at 6:00 pm, and a question-and-answer session will follow the lecture. This free and open-to-the-public event will feature a book sale and signing by Ted Aldrich after the program.

The author is available for media interviews and requests prior to the event.
