Synopsis
A film about the life of General George C. Marshall, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during World War II and Secretary of State thereafter, best remembered as the architect of the famous plan named after him that proposed massive U.S. investment in western Europe. The purpose of this support was the rebuilding of the shattered economies of France, Britain, Italy, and above all, the post-war West German state, in order to keep these allied nations from falling out of the American commercial/military sphere of influence and into the Soviet bloc.
