I recently finished Lucius Clay - An American Life by Jean Edward Smith. A good look at a person who was involved in some of the depression era public works, managing procurement of supplies for WW2 and being the military governor of the US zones of Germany post WW2 through the Berlin airlift.

Occasionally I felt like it was a little too biased in Clay's favor, but that's not unusual in biographies. Learned a lot about the WW2 era from a new perspective.

I read Smiths biography of "John Marshall " also excellently researched and written book , but all Smith books are magisterial.
