About This Item
Public Affairs. New. New Dr Susan Williams is a senior research fellow in the School of Advanced Study, University of London Her pathbreaking books include Who Killed Hammarskj�ld?, which in 2015 triggered a new, ongoing UN investigation into the death of the UN Secretary General Spies in the Congo spotlights the link between US espionage in the Congo and the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 Colour Bar, the story of Botswana's founding President, was made into the major 2016 film A United Kingdom A People's King presents an original perspective on the abdication of Edward VIII and his marriage to Wallis Simpson
In 1958 in Accra, Ghana, the Hands Off Africa conference brought together the leading figures of African independence in a public show of political strength and purpose Led by the charismatic Kwame Nkrumah, who had just won Ghana's independence, his determined call for Pan-Africanism was heeded by young, idealistic leaders across the continent and by African Americans seeking civil rights at home Yet, a moment that signified a new era of African freedom simultaneously marked a new era of foreign intervention and control
In White Malice, Susan Williams unearths the covert operations pursued by the CIA from Ghana to the Congo to the UN in an effort to frustrate and deny Africa's new generation of nationalist leaders This dramatically upends the conventional belief that the African nations failed to establish effective, democratic states on their own accord As the old European powers moved out, the US moved in
Drawing on original research, recently declassified documents, and told through an engaging narrative, Williams introduces readers to idealistic African leaders and to the secret agents, ambassadors, and even presidents who deliberately worked against them, forever altering the future of a continent
