This link is to a biography of George Marshall, one of the creators of the Marshall plan. This adds to what we have learned in class because the Marshall Plan is a main part of the Cold War. The article mostly mentions Marshall's military and diplomacy achievements, but the most intriguing is the source of the biography;the biography is from the Nobel prize website, and the main heading is Marshall's award of the Nobel peace prize in 1953. This also provides a backdrop in terms of the Swedish view of the Marshall Plan. It is limited in the respect that a biography describing a man chosen for the Nobel prize would not be critical.
