The Marshall Plan: The Launching of the Pax Americana

From the book's inside flap: "This the story of the making of the most successful piece of foreign policy conceived by any nation in the twentieth century---and of the men who made it: President Harry S. Truman, the common man with the uncommon knack for domestic politics; General George C. Marshall, a man of unquestioned honor the selflessness; the patrician Dean Acheson, who reached out to pick up the pieces of the British Empire as through they had always been his; George F. Kennan, the ambivalent, intellectual policy planner who coined the expression 'containment; that sprint of '47 as the Marshall Plan was being put together; Will Clayton, the cotton broker eager for international markets; Ambassador Jefferson Caffery; and all the others.
