Marshall Plan

"Between 1948 and 1951, the Marshall Plan delivered an unprecedented 12.3 billion dollars in U.S. aid to help Western European countries recover from the destruction of World War II, and forestall Communist influence in that region. The book examines the aid program{u2019}s its ideological origins and explores how ideas about an Americanized world order inspired and influenced the Marshall Plan{u2019}s creation and execution ... provides a much-needed re-examination of the Plan, enabling students to understand its immediate impact and its political, social, and cultural legacy."--Provided by publisher.
