喬治卡特利特馬歇爾 (George
Catlett Marshall) 是一名士兵，大家最記得他對和平的貢獻。出生於賓夕法尼亞州，馬歇爾於維吉尼亞州萊星頓市 (Lexington) 的維吉尼亞軍校 (Virginia
Military Institute) 受訓並在此培養他的領導技巧。當他還是個年輕軍官時，馬歇爾即以耿直、坦率及傑出的問題解決能力聞名。第一次世界大戰時，他身居要職，到了第二次世界大戰時，則身任陸軍參謀長。戰後，馬歇爾將他的問題解決能力應用在更重要的領域上。身為國務卿時，他說服國會撥出130億美金幫助歐洲重建。這個有名的「馬歇爾計畫」 (Marshall
Plan) 為許多國家帶來希望與和平。1953年時，馬歇爾也因他的偉大成就獲頒諾貝爾和平獎。
George Catlett Marshall was a soldier best remembered for what he did for peace. Born in Pennsylvania, Marshall developed his leadership skills at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. As a junior Army officer, Marshall earned a reputation for blunt honesty and brilliant problem-solving. He held important posts during World War I, and in World War II, Marshall became head of the Army. After the war, Marshall put his problem-solving skills to an even more important use. As secretary of state, he convinced Congress to give Europe $13 billion to help rebuild. This very popular "Marshall Plan" brought hope and peace to many nations. For his great achievement, Marshall received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953. |
