Description

Using the 1947 Marshall Plan as a guide for reconstruction and rehabilitation of western Europe following World War II, this volume anticipates the need for U.S. financial aid of billions of dollars to serve as the glue for stability and peace throughout the region of the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, including Pakistan and Afghanistan. As with the Marshall Plan, demands for regional economic integration are described with a model for a potential economic community of 28 nations, composed of one billion people.

Reviews

"To Jerry M. Rosenberg - With much respect for his attempt to organize a great dream. I believe you have addressed yourself to the very foundations which will lie at the heart of the future of the region and I hope indeed that the day is not far off when the plan will be brought to realization." - Shimon Peres, Former Prime Minister of Israel "... I hope, by drawing on the Marshall Plan, you are able to formulate a blueprint that can succeed in the Middle East. I further hope that you are able to use the Marshall Plan to illustrate to others how such plans have been successful in the past, and how, despite the daunting odds, such a plan could create economic growth, democracy, and peace in our region. I wish you much success in your important work." - Natan Sharansky, Former Deputy Prime Minister of Israel"
