Title: Intervening in Africa
Description: "As the Cold War wound down in 1989, Africa was awash in civil wars. Ambassador Hank Cohen initiated an aggressive policy of diplomatic intervention in African conflicts, using the prestige and credibility of the world's only superpower to search for peace. Cohen details his own and others' efforts in seven civil wars, with results ranging from heady triumph in Mozambique to utter disappointment in Angola.

At every stage, deadly power struggles and bureaucratic and political infighting raised formidable obstacles."--BOOK JACKET.
