Summary

On June 5, 1947, George C. Marshall delivered a speech at Harvard University that would change the world. With that speech, the U.S. Secretary of State, and close confidant of President Truman, ushered in the European Recovery Program (ERP), which would soon burgeon into the most successful political project in U.S. and European history. Underwritten by the American taxpayer, an unbelievable fourteen billion dollars was made available between 1948 and 1952 for the Marshall Plan, money that continues to have multiple benefits for Austria's state, economy, and society. Wonderfully balancing the text with pictures and illustrations, Günter Bischof and Hans Petschar tell the thrilling success story of the Marshall Plan and its undiminished vitality.--, Provided by Publisher
