Summary
A revelatory history of how postcolonial African Independence movements were systematically undermined by one nation above all: the US.
In 1958 in Accra, Ghana, the Hands Off Africa conference brought together the leading figures of African independence in a public show of political strength and purpose. Led by the charismatic Kwame Nkrumah, who had just won Ghana’s independence, his determined call for Pan-Africanism was heeded by young, idealistic leaders across the continent and by African Americans seeking civil rights at home. Yet, a moment that signified a new era of African freedom simultaneously marked a new era of foreign intervention and control.
In White Malice, Susan Williams unearths the covert operations pursued by the CIA from Ghana to the Congo to the UN in an effort to frustrate and deny Africa’s new generation of nationalist leaders. This dramatically upends the conventional belief that the African nations failed to establish effective, democratic states on their own accord. As the old European powers moved out, the US moved in.
Drawing on original research and recently declassified documents, and told through an engaging narrative, Williams introduces listeners to idealistic African leaders and to the secret agents, ambassadors, and even presidents who deliberately worked against them, forever altering the future of a continent.

Poverty and Wealth
The information was invaluable in terms of understanding a continent rich in natural resources remains, while the people remain poor.

Great information
Growing up I remember my dad always talking about Kwame Nkrumah. In fact he had a picture of him up in our living room and as a little kid I thought it was my grandpa. Great listen the information is flooring! If Ghana would of been left alone I wonder where they would be today

Informative, sometimes repetitive, good read
Bravo to the author. The book is well researched. But, it is a hard read. It is more like a dissertation than a flowing story. Sadly, facts get repeated. Better editing cld have caught that flaw. Author makes a few grand leaps to conclusions from thin data points. This book is not for a beginner in understanding African nationalism of West Africans 1950s to 80s There is overkill on Patrice Lumumba, though his story is vital and critical. Congo and Ghana are not the only hotbeds of CIA hanky-panky in Africa. Almost nothing on Southern African liberation movement leaders and CIA role in maintaining apartheid. Strange to have no mention of Neto in Angola, Machel of Mozambique and Nujoma of Namibia. Still, congrats to the author. Narrator must please learn proper pronunciations of names of famous African leaders.

We need more books like this!
Selfishness and greed has no color. The Greediness of the imperialist (Caucasian) nations seems to know no bounds.
With the help of Greedy and selfish African characters, America, Britain, France, Portugal and Belgium was successful in undermining True Freedom and democracy in Africa.
The West fears the liberation of Black Africans . This has been the case since through luck and timing, they were able to impose their will on the continent, but nothing lasts forever.
This book is packed with great information that will help you understand Africa’s current woes and the hidden/sinister hands of the “Benefactor” nations.
We need more books like this that exposes the West’s dirty linen.

Not well organized. Read like a children's book.
Although the book was meandering rather aimlessly with no obvious sign of getting beyond superficial, I might have stuck with it. But the reader was like a cross between an infomercial actor and a children's librarian, and after awhile I just couldn't stomach it any longer and gave up.

History can't be disputed when supported by FACTS.
Thanks to the author for telling the stories of how the US/CIA overturned democratically elected governments in Africa. The facts show how racism, politics and money are the tools used to keep African nations divided and subjugated to western imperialism. America's so called "democracy" is really just hypocrisy...as stated by Malcom X.
