Robert Lovett grew up in Texas, went to Yale, and earned his wings
as a naval air force hero in World War I. He played a key role in
the development of the Army Air Force in World War II. His emphasis
on strategic bombing was instrumental in defeating Hitler's
Germany. During his postwar service in the State Department, he was
influential in initiating the Marshall Plan, the formation of NATO
and planning the Berlin Airlift. He served as Truman's Secretary of
Defense during the Korean War, was a consultant for his friend
Dwight Eisenhower and served John F. Kennedy during the Cuban
Missile Crisis. Between tours of duty in Washington, he was an
international banker on Wall Street. This first complete biography
covers his life and career in detail.
