Reference Book Review

This is the most comprehensive bibliography to date of works by and about General Matthew B. Ridgway, one of America's greatest military leaders. This short reference guide covers the entire career of this professional soldier and diplomat from World War I through World War II and his command of the first American Airborne Corps in Europe, his command of the Eighth Army in Korea, his command in the Pacific, Japan, and NATO, and his later service as Army Chief of Staff. This study offers a short biographical sketch, identifies important archival sources, and provides annotations with the 367 citations to books, documents, journal articles, and other materials. The bibliography is organized into chapters dealing with various genres of material, periods, and topics and then arranged alphabetically by author. The indexes to periodicals, authors, and subjects make the material easily available for the use of students, scholars, and experts interested in America's military history from 1917 to the present.
