Abstract
On December ii, 1953, at Oslo University’s Festival Hall, George Marshall delivered the last important speech of his career as he was honored with the Nobel Peace Prize. At the presentation ceremony the day before, Carl J. Hambro, a leading figure in the Norwegian parliament and a prominent member of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, had emphasized that the 1953 Nobel Peace Prize was the first given to a professional soldier. Hambro’s remarks irritated Marshall, and in his acceptance speech he made a point of addressing the seeming paradox of a general receiving a peace prize.1
