Here, for the first time ever, is the story of Major General Fox Conner.
Finally he wasn\'t afraid to break the rules of the organization to do it.
Then he encouraged and challenged these prot g s to develop their strengths and overcome their weaknesses.

He is the "Grey eminence" within the Army whose influence helped to shape the careers of George Patton, George Marshall, and, most notably, President Eisenhower.
