Nigeria, Africa, and the United States: From Kennedy to Reagan

Shepard examines US foreign policy toward Nigeria, black Africa's wealthiest and most populous state, from 1960, the year of its independence, through the end of the Reagan presidency. He argues that US policy toward Nigeria has never had much to do with what was going on there or in Africa as a whole. Instead, American policy makers have seen in Nigeria what they have wanted to see and proceeded accordingly. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
