Samuel Lyman

Atwood Marshall (July 18, 1900 – December 17, 1977) was a chief U.S. Army

combat historian during World War II and the Korean War.

Known professionally as S. L. A. Marshall, and nicknamed "Slam" (the

combination of all four of his initials), he authored some 30 books about

warfare, including Pork Chop Hill: The American Fighting Man in Action,

which was made into a film of the same name. However, his legacy is

mired in scandal, as he lied about his involvement in the primary events he

wrote about.
