General Marshall remarked after the war, “I had trouble with King because he was always sore at everybody. He was perpetually mean.”13 In his private wartime diary, General Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote in the same vein, but less delicately: “One thing that might help win this war is to get someone to shoot King. He’s the antithesis of cooperation, a deliberately rude person, which means he’s a mental bully.”14
