...Wedemeyer was assigned to the War Plans Division. His job was to draw up the first overall war plan for the U.S. After Pearl Harbor, his estimates became the basic pattern of the U.S. war effort. By 1942's end, Wedemeyer was a member of Marshall's inner group, a key figure in overall strategy. He had become a general's general.

...wish to obliterate the teachings of the Yogi and the Commissar in toto; he is idealistic enough to hope that the best of each can be joined: a "synthesis of . . . the saint [and] the revolutionary."
