Sobre este artículo
Washington: U.S. Government Printing Office. Fine. 2013. First Edition. Hardcover. Foreign Relations of the United States 1964-1968; xxx, (2), 887 pages; Clean and secure in original red cloth binding with gilt lettering at spine. Unread, virtually as new. The Congo Crisis and its Aftermath, 1964-1968 The volume consists of two sections. The first part of the volume, covering 1960 to 1963, documents the chaotic nature of the Congo crisis and the pervasive influence of U.S. Government covert actions in the newly independent nation. They also provide the analysis that is at the core of policy formulation with regard to covert action. The second part of the volume, covering 1964 to 1968, documents the continuation of the U.S. covert political action programs and their role in providing paramilitary and air support to the Congolese Government in an effort to quell provincial rebellions. The documentation illustrates a gradual shift in policy to engage other nations in the stabilization of Congo-Léopoldville, including the joint U.S.-Belgian rescue of European and U.S. hostages during Operation Dragon Rouge and the efforts of the Department of State to convince other nations, including Belgium and members of the Organization of African Unity, to support the Congo-Léopoldville Government and condemn outside interference. .
