African Crisis Areas and U.S. Foreign Policy

Once again "regionalists" feel impelled to make the case against excessive anti-Sovietism in U.S. policy toward Third World areas and in favor of careful calculation of elements "on the ground" in each crisis situation. In this volume a number of experts scrutinize African trouble spots and recommend policies for promoting U.S. interests based on sensitive analysis of local situations. Globalists also have a chance to argue their case, but all in all the book provides a salutary antidote to the increasingly fashionable anti-communist strategies currently being applied to the most obscure of the globe's conflicts.
