"it's Been A Wonderful Life" is just one of three books currently published in the U.S., U.K., India, Australia, etc. which covers the bio of this Hollywood High Alumni of W'39. There is a lot about Hollywood High in it from that historical period. It also covers when Marv. served with the highest echelon of General Marshall's War Dept. General Staff during World War II, his setting up presidential debates, a movie for Paramount, his Beverly Hills gallery and a world of other interesting happenings.

Another book, "The Man Behind The Scene" he co-authored with Arthur Kimball who was that man. He was our military advisor at the Nurnberg Trials that tried the Nazi war criminals, he secretly handled the funds for the creation of our atomic bomb, did the administration of the Marshall Plan. He was on Eisenhower's presidential staff with an office larger than the Oval Office. It was Arthur that told Ike to start a Space Program and it was he that gave NASA it's name.

The third book, "The Thoughts of Marvin Arthur & It's Time For Action" covers many of his thoughts and has brought forth many nice communications from various personages including Hillary Clinton.

He still communicates with fellow students from his graduating class of 71 years ago.
