Description
The CIA and the Neocolonisation of Africa by A. Susan Williams In 1958, a conference in Accra brought together Africa's liberation leaders, including Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah and Congo's Patrice Lumumba, to discuss a shared vision of African autonomy. However, this moment of hope was short-lived, as the United States began to secretly undermine their efforts. With the Europeans withdrawing from Africa, the US saw an opportunity to exert control, fearing the spread of Soviet influence and the potential for an atomic reactor in African hands. Renowned historian Susan Williams reveals the shocking details of America's covert programme in Africa, exposing a web of secret agents, informants, cultural infiltration, bribery, assassinations, and coups. This is a story of how the US 'recaptured' Africa, often in the shadows, with far-reaching consequences that still resonate today. Through meticulous research, Williams sheds new light on a pivotal moment in modern African history, revealing the complex and often sinister forces that have shaped the continent's trajectory.
