| The cost of war is constantIy spread before me, written neatIy in many ledgers whose coIumns are gravestones. For that reason, l am constantly moved to find the means to prevent the caIamity of war. - George MarshaIl He built the mightiest army in history and selected its Ieaders. Eisenhower, MacArthur and Patton aII obeyed his commands. And, when victory was won, he bound up the world s wounds with a plan for European recovery that bore his name. The only soldier ever to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, he served during his long career as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense and President of the Red Cross. SoIdier and statesman, a powerful yet modest patriot, George Marshall is today an aImost forgotten hero a private and introspective man whose influential roIe in matters of war and peace helped determine the course of the twentieth century. George Marshall and the American Century features rare historicaI footage and recordings of MarshaII and President Roosevelt and Truman, as welI as excIusive interviews with GeneraI Matthew B. Ridgway, journalist Eric Sevareid, former Secretary of Defense Clark CIifford and many others. It brings to Iife the tenacious diplomat and strategist who won battles in both the European theater and on CapitaI HiIl, and recaIls the miIitary Ieader who recognized the somber Iegacy of war. |
