Robert Rakove's book looks like a good one:
"Historians of the Cold War have long criticized U.S. leaders for unsophisticated and heavy-handed policies toward the Third World. Robert Rakove convincingly challenges this view, demonstrating that for a few years in the early 1960s, U.S. decision makers embraced a remarkably nuanced, tolerant approach to India, Egypt, and other nonaligned' nations. The book fundamentally alters our understanding of John F. Kennedy and underscores the tragedy that occurred when subsequent presidents abandoned his approach. Anyone interested in the Cold War and the roots of present-day tensions between the United States and the developing world will gain much from this elegantly crafted, deeply researched study."
