General George C. Marshall was a skillful and compassionate
leader with a unique legacy. He never fired a shot during WWII and
led no troops into battle--his brilliance was purely strategic and
diplomatic, and incredibly effective. He was responsible for the
building, supplying, and, in part, the deployment of over eight
million soldiers. In 1947, as Secretary of State, he created the
Marshall Plan, a sweeping economic recovery effort that pulled the
war-shattered European nations out of ruin, and gave impetus to
NATO and the European Common Market. It was for the Marshall Plan
that he won the Nobel Peace Prize--the only time in history a
military commander has ever been awarded this honor.
Marshall's skilled combination of military strategy and
politics, emphasis on planning as well as execution, and his
expertise in nation-building holds lessons for military and
civilian leaders today.
