A significant work in Cold War historiography, The U.S.S.R and Africa chronicles the complex and often turbulent relationship between the Soviet Union and the African continent during the mid-twentieth century. David Morison presents a meticulous analysis of Soviet foreign policy ambitions in Africa, detailing how Moscow sought to extend its ideological and geopolitical influence across newly independent African nations. The book uncovers the mechanisms of Soviet engagement — from diplomatic overtures and economic aid to ideological propaganda and support for liberation movements — painting a vivid picture of superpower rivalry on African soil. Published under the joint auspices of the London Institute of Race Relations and the Central Asian Research Centre, this authoritative volume remains an indispensable reference for scholars of Cold War politics, African decolonisation, and Soviet foreign affairs.
