5.0 out of 5 starsLittle Know part of JFK Adminstration
By Craig A. SAUNDERS on January 14, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Most people know about JFK Administration with his issues with Cuba, Berlin Wall and beginning of U.S. involument in Vietnam,, not much was known about his foreign policy regarding Africa, well this book cover that aspect of his administration with the emerge countries of Africa and his problems of balancing his support of the newly independence countries and while supporting France and Britain and their reluctance of freeing those Countries. This book does a great job of covering these and other issues in dealing with Africa, mostly ignored by the previous administration.

A book that needs to be read by JFK historians and people interested in U.S. foreign policy

5.0 out of 5 starsTour de Force on Kennedy's African Policy
By Jim DiEugenio on September 24, 2013
Format: Hardcover
This book is simply a tour de force of new research on the subject of Kennedy's foreign policy in Africa and how it differed from Eisenhower and Dulles and how it was then halted by LBJ and Nixon. The author has dug up so much new material on the subject that I cannot hope to do it justice in a short review. But please read this longer review of the book here

[...]

In a nutshell, Kennedy broke with the previous policy, challenged his NATO allies, and even sympathized not just with black nationalism in Africa but through Nasser, Arab nationalism in the Middle East.

When he died,all of Africa realized they had lost a true friend and went into mourning. He is still remembered there. Some have named their kids after him.

A marvelous book that anyone can benefit from.
