Desperate Measures in the Congo
#3
Alan, see the Lumumba presidency was important because that was a democratic election and it was a constitutional government.

For America to plot to overthrow that government, I mean, as Jonathan Kwitny said, it was quite a negative achievement for the USA to be involved in the first overthrow of a democratically elected government in sub Sahara Africa. Clearly, the Russians looked better.
