Military Legends Of WWII – Episode 6: Joseph Stilwell
Four Star General Stilwell became known for service in the China-Burma-India Theater during WWII. His caustic personality was reflected in the nickname "Vinegar Joe". Although distrustful of his Allies, Stilwell showed himself to be a capable and daring tactician in the field but a lack of resources meant he was continually forced to improvise. General George Marshall acknowledged he had given General Stilwell "one of the most difficult" assignments of any theater commander during the war.
