U.S. Foreign Aid & Assistance

The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 serves as the cornerstone for the United States'''' foreign assistance policies and programs. Written, passed, and signed into law at what some consider the height of the Cold War, this Act is seen by some today as anachronistic. This book explores the background and beneficiaries of current U.S. foreign aid and assistance today with a focus on aid to the Middle East, Palestinians, Israel, Afghanistan, Africa, East and South Asia.
