SUMMARY:George C Marshall – The Most Underrated American Hero
DESCRIPTION:George C Marshall – The Most Underrated American Hero\nHe was a soldier who won the Nobel Peace Prize. A man of such great humility that he refused to say yes when he was offered the job he most wanted. His leadership and vision were crucial to American victories in World War I and his guidance and wisdom was absolutely essential the United States winning the Second World War. After the war\, his amazing managerial skill and deep compassionate instinct helped to save the lives of millions of Europeans and build long-lasting alliances that would help make the world safer for America. Although he lacked panache of Douglas MacArthur or George Patton and was not a visible symbol of the USA like Eisenhower\,  George C Marshall – the most underrated American hero – was indispensable to Pres. Roosevelt and the world. \nWhile his record is not perfect\, his leadership of the American military during World War II and his brilliant rescue of Europe (“The Marshall Plan”) were successful beyond belief.  Each had long ranging impacts on the future.  Marshall was a man of great integrity.  His gift of clarity and his decisiveness helped shape a better world for Americans.  His integrity impressed Presidents.  His compassion saved millions from starvation  Harry Truman saw him as the greatest American.  Churchill agreed.  And history recognizes this soldier/statesman as one of the most important – if underrated – men of American history.

SUMMARY:The Doolittle Raid - Flying Into Greatness
DESCRIPTION:The Doolittle Raid: America Fights Back\n \nAfter the deadly surprise attack on Pearl Harbor\, the USA wanted. Pres. Roosevelt knew that it would inevitably be a long war when we took on the forces of the Japanese Army and Navy. Our forces were insufficient before the devastating attack on Hawaii.  nonetheless\, FDR wanted to send a strong\, clear\, and unmistakable message to the Japanese: the United States WOULD fight back. \n An Unexpected Plan\nCol. Jimmy Doolitte volunteered to lead a group of raiders on one of the most  audacious attacks of all time. The plan was to drop bombs on Tokyo in the middle of the daytime. The Japanese people have been told that their island was invulnerable to an outside attack. If the Doolittle Raiders were successful\, their attack would be a shattering blow to the Japanese psyche. The only problem was that there was no practical way for American planes to attack the Japanese mainland. But utilizing American ingenuity\, full support of Pres. Roosevelt and Gen. George C Marshall\, and sheer bravado\, the Doolittle Raiders flew into greatness. \nThe heart stopping story of the Doolittle raid makes for drilling multimedia presentation offered  by master storyteller.
