This book examines the role of the UN in conflict resolution in
Africa in the 1960s and its relation to the Cold War. Focussing on
the Congo, this book shows how the preservation of the existing
economic and social order in the Congo was a key element in the
decolonisation process and the fighting of the Cold War. It links
the international aspects of British, Belgian, Angolan and Central
African Federation involvement with the roles of the US and UN in
order to understand how supplies to and profits from the Congo were
producing growing African problems. This large Central African
country played a vital, if not fully understood role, in the Cold
War and proved to be a fascinating example of complex African
problems of decolonisation interacting with international forces,
in ways that revealed a great deal about the problems inherent in
colonialism and its end. This book will be of much interest to
students of US foreign policy, the UN, Cold War history and
international history in general.
