White Malice: The CIA and the Covert Recolonization of Africa

This book explores the history of African Independence movements — but mainly within them how a there stands one bad actor that undermined their success: the US. What seemed like a new era, at the outset of the Hands Off Africa conference, what seemed like the beginning of a new era of freedom ominously would also signal a new era of intervention and control by foreign governments. Here, historian Susan Williams shares the then covert operations by the CIA to undermine, frustrate, and deny the freedom efforts of newly emancipated countries and leaders. When many European powers that caused the initial artificial division of Africa left, the US moved in. Through declassified documents. Williams forms a narrative that guides us to how a whole continent was undermined by American foreign interests to maintain systems of exploitation.
