A Comprehensive History of the US-Angolan relationship,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Destruction of a Nation: United States' Policy Toward Angola Since 1945 (Paperback)
Professor Wright of California State University Chico has put together the most readible and comprehensive source of information on the history of the US-Angola relationship. This relationship has often times been both bizzare and interesting. With a recommendation from Noam Chomsky, one would have expected the tone of the book to be unabashedly slanted to the left; however, the book manages to achieve enormous strength from Wrights ability to tell this shameful episode in US foreign policy in a balanced and well documented fashion. It makes a great companion to William Minter's Apartheid's Contras. The chapters dealing with the Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon administrations are a great addition, since most written accounts focus solely on the Ford though Reagan time period. |
