520 8 Annotation|bMajor General Clarence Ransom Edwards is a
vital figure in American military history, yet his
contribution to the U.S. efforts in World War I has often
been ignored or presented in unflattering terms. Most
accounts focus on the disagreements he had with General
John J. Pershing, who dismissed Edwards from the command
of the 26th (Yankee) Division just weeks before thewar's
end. The notoriety of the Pershing incident has caused
some to view Edwards as simply a political general with a
controversial career. But Clarence Edwards, though often a
divisive figure, was a greater man than that. A revered
and admired officer whose men called him Daddy, Edwards
attained an impressive forty-year career, one matched by
few wartime leaders . Michael E. Shay presents a complete
portrait of this notable American and his many merits
inRevered Commander, Maligned General. This long-overdue
first full-length biography of General Clarence Edwards
opens with his earlyyears in Cleveland, Ohio and his
turbulenttimes at West Point. The book details the crucial
roles Edwards filled in staff and field commands for the
Army before the outbreak of World War I in 1917: Adjutant-
General with General Henry Ware Lawton in the Philippine-
American War, first chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs,
and commander of U.S. forces in the Panama Canal Zone.
Revered Commander, Maligned Generalfollows Edwards as he
forms the famous Yankee Division and leads his men into
France. The conflict between Edwards and Pershing is
placed in context, illuminating the disputes that led to
Edwards being relieved of command. This well-researched
biography quotes a wealth of primary sources in recounting
the life ofan important American, a man of loyalty and
service who is largely misunderstood. Photographs of
Edwards, his troops, and his kinmany from Edwards own
collectioncomplement the narrative. In addition, several
maps aid readers in following General Edwards as his
career moves from the U.S. to Central America to Europe
and back stateside. Shays portrayalof General Edwards
finally provides a balancedaccount of this unique U.S.
military leader.
