- This book is the result of eight years of archival research, utilising materials from nine presidential libraries located throughout the United States as well as the Library of Congress, US National Archives and the British Library. In presenting a comprehensive study of American foreign policy towards the Horn of Africa during the Cold War, a largely neglected region, it encourages a more inclusive approach to foreign policy studies. Deemed geopolitically important by both Superpowers, local needs, including the legacy of colonialism, were subsequently subordinated to strategic priorities, creating foundations where extremism and terrorism could flourish in the post-cold war world.
