Britain and the Marshall Plan

The Marshall Plan, originally proposed by General Marshall, the U.S. Secretary of State, as a means of providing dollars for the postwar recovery of Europe, operated for the four years 1948 to 1952. In this study based on both British and American sources (including for the first time the papers of the American 'Mission"" in London), Dr. Pelling examines the economic relations between the two countries in this period.
