Drawing on primary source materials from fifteen archives and five countries, it is a comprehensively researched book.Miller does an exempl…
Nancy Mitchell. Jimmy Carter in Africa
Based on archival research from more than thirty archives in twelve countries, twenty-eight oral history interviews, a plethora of newspapers and U.S. network news broadcasts, and comprehensive secondary sources, Nancy Mitchell’s Jimmy Carter in Africa: Race and the Cold War is an extraordinarily well-researched book. This landmark work will make an indelible mark on the historiography of the Carter administration because it contests several of t…
Czechoslovak Aviation Assistance to Africa (1960–68)
After World War II, the airplane served to dramatically shrink the world, enabling states to expand their diplomatic relations and trade with distant countries. This was especially true for a small landlocked country like Czechoslovakia. Under the motto, "Air is our sea," Czechoslovak leaders sought to make their country a transportation center by turning Prague into an aviation hub. As one Czechoslovak diplomat put it in the early 1950s, Czechos…
Czechoslovakia in Africa, 1945–1968
This book explores Czechoslovakia's diplomatic relations with African states and places them within a wider Cold War historiography, providing contextual background information on the evolution of communist Czechoslovakia's pro-Soviet foreign policy orientation. This shift in Soviet foreign policy made Africa a priority for the Soviet bloc.
How Special Was the Anglo-American Relationship in Africa
In this engagingly written book, James P. Hubbard sets out explore the role that the United States played in the end of Britain’s African empire. Hubbard systematically works through American-British relations over the British African colonial empire from the Franklin Roosevelt to Lyndon Johnson administrations.

Kennedy, Sékou Touré, and the Success of Personal Diplomacy
Chapter three focuses on Kennedy’s relationship with Ahmed Sékou Touré of Guinea. Kennedy’s relationship with Touré was his first, and arguably most successful, attempt at using personal diplomacy with an African head of state. Touré was thought to have been solidly within the Soviet orbit during the Eisenhower years and, hence, was written off by that administration as a communist. Yet through personal diplomacy and persisting in the belief that…
Kennedy, Felix Houphouët-Boigny, William Tubman, and Conservative African Nationalism
Chapter seven turns its focus to Kennedy’s relationship with conservative African nationalists William Tubman of Liberia and Felix Houphouët-Boigny of the Ivory Coast. It reveals that Kennedy was much more interested in courting the radical or Cold War nonaligned African leaders than those who were conservative, staunchly pro-Western, and already committed to the Western camp. Kennedy wagered that the conservative leaders were relics of the past …
Kennedy, Julius Nyerere, and Self-Determination in Southern Africa
Chapter five looks at Kennedy’s relations with Tanganyika’s moderate leader, Julius K. Nyerere, with particular emphasis on their discussions of the racial problems of southern Africa. The chapter analyzes the impact of the Kennedy administration’s vote against Portuguese colonialism in the United Nations (the first time an American government had voted against a NATO ally on colonial issues), a vote that was designed to eradicate the stigma that…

Religion and the Cold War
Kennedy and Touré
Entering the White House at the crest of the African independence movement, John F. Kennedy and many of his advisors believed that Africa had surpassed Asia as the most permeable battlefield in the East–West Cold War struggle. While the battle lines of the Cold War had already been clearly drawn in Europe and in much of Asia, newly independent Africa was wide open for superpower competition. The central component of Kennedy's approach to dealing …
