Stimson 77 and Still Governing War Role Since Taft Era
A midwestern New York lawyer came to Taft's War Department to lead 80 men. Now Secretary Stimson heads the vast U.S. war machine with nearly 8 million personnel and a world war on many fronts. He tours, debates policy with General Marshall, and remains a disciplinarian in public life, balancing quiet reserve with blunt warnings to Japan and praise for teamwork.
