- THE ARMY OFFICER AS MILITARY STATESMAN, 1930-1965.
- Creator
- MORIARTY, DONALD PETER, JR., Florida Atlantic University, O'Sullivan, John
- Abstract/Description
-
Between 1930 and 1965, four men held such key positions in the military establishment that they essentially dominated their profession. Although their positions were first and foremost military, the non-military implications inherent in their offices were of such nature as to involve the office holder in a wide range of national affairs at the highest levels. Using as a method comparative biographical sketches of Generals of the Army Douglas MacArthur, George Marshall, Dwight Eisenhower, and...
Show moreBetween 1930 and 1965, four men held such key positions in the military establishment that they essentially dominated their profession. Although their positions were first and foremost military, the non-military implications inherent in their offices were of such nature as to involve the office holder in a wide range of national affairs at the highest levels. Using as a method comparative biographical sketches of Generals of the Army Douglas MacArthur, George Marshall, Dwight Eisenhower, and General Maxwell Taylor, conelusions are derived which, it is hoped, will assist in determining an appropriate role for the Army officer in matters of national leadership.

- Abstract/Description
-
This research analyzes how American soldiers reacted to the Dachau concentration camp, and offers statistics that counter the arguments made by Holocaust deniers and revisionists. It compares how the Soviets, British, and Americans conducted themselves as they freed other prisoners, and discusses why every camp liberation was dissimilar. Evidence gathered from the liberators who executed the SS disproves the argument that they were premediated killers and emphasizes how unique Dachau’s...
Show moreThis research analyzes how American soldiers reacted to the Dachau concentration camp, and offers statistics that counter the arguments made by Holocaust deniers and revisionists. It compares how the Soviets, British, and Americans conducted themselves as they freed other prisoners, and discusses why every camp liberation was dissimilar. Evidence gathered from the liberators who executed the SS disproves the argument that they were premediated killers and emphasizes how unique Dachau’s conditions were on the day of liberation, when compared to other concentration camps. It also directly refutes many arguments made by Holocaust deniers, and addresses their erroneous narratives, statistics, and conclusions regarding the Dachau liberation, and the Holocaust in general.
