White Malice

In "White Malice," Susan Williams presents a compelling narrative about how the United States systematically undermined African Independence movements, beginning with the influential 1958 Hands Off Africa conference in Ghana. Through original research and recently declassified documents, she reveals the covert operations of the CIA and the systemic foreign interventions that thwarted emerging nationalist leaders’ efforts to establish democratic governance across the continent. This thought-provoking account challenges the notion that African nations faltered without external support, instead illustrating how the US stepped in as old European powers withdrew.
