'A sharp, perceptive, multi-level analysis of one of the most difficult crises the UN had to manage. O'Malley weaves together empire and decolonization, internationalism and the Cold War, great power rivalry and public diplomacy, to give us an original, inspiring representation of the complexity - and fickleness - of international politics.' Federico Romero, European University Institute 'You will be hard-pressed to find a more provocative, original interpretation of the Congo crisis. In Alanna O'Malley's hands, the Congo is an entrepot, illuminating the United Nations' autonomy in international affairs while highlighting the tensions that coursed through the North Atlantic and Afro-Asian alliances. Diplomacy of Decolonisation is indispensable to students of African international history, and essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the Cold War and decolonization. ' Ryan Irwin, University at Albany -- .
