"Images of the Marshall Plan in Europe: Films, Photographs, Exhibits, Posters"
By G. Bischof, D. Stiefel
The Marshall Plan is considered one of the most successful foreign aid program in American history. This book focuses on "selling the Marshall Plan" both to sceptical Americans and Europeans in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The Economic Cooperation Administration(E.C.A.)in Paris administered the distribution of American Marshall Aid. The E.C.A. also directed the propaganda effort: 250 films were produced (newsreels, documnentaries, and feature films)to inform the public.

Travelling train, ship, and bus exhibits were organized and shown all over Europe, the Greek Islands and remote Austrian Alpine valleys to show films about how Marshall Plan Aid increased Austrian economic productivity.
