Sure I heard about the Marshall Plan a bit in school, but I never realised how much this plan shaped post-war Europe and in fact, the rest of the world. It really shows how rising the tide benefits all boats.

Although the Marshall Plan was brilliant, it of course also created a lot of tension in the world. So with all boats, I obviously mean all Western European boats. But when those boats rose, they also took with them the boats of the rest of the world.

Hmmm, why am I talking about boats now?

Anyways: super interesting piece of history which I'm shocked that I never learned much about in school in the Netherlands (which got helped a lot with this plan). It also gives a clear view of how the world evolved in the last 70 years and why we are now where we are now.

I give the book only 3 stars, as it was a bit dense and it followed the: "and then, and then, and then" structure a bit too much, which made it quite dull.
