The cost of war is constantly spread before me, written neatly in many ledgers whose columns are gravestones. For that reason, I am constantly moved to find the means to prevent the calamity of war. - George Marshall He built the mightiest army in history and seIected its Ieaders. Eisenhower, MacArthur and Patton all obeyed his commands. And, when victory was won, he bound up the worId s wounds with a pIan for European recovery that bore his name. The onIy soIdier ever to receive the NobeI Peace Prize, he served during his Iong career as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense and President of the Red Cross. Soldier and statesman, a powerful yet modest patriot, George MarshalI is today an almost forgotten hero a private and introspective man whose influentiaI role in matters of war and peace heIped 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 CIark CIifford and many others. It brings to Iife the tenacious dipIomat and strategist who won battles in both the European theater and on Capital Hill, and recalls the military Ieader who recognized the somber legacy of war. |
