McCormick, Iowa State University, USA ""For far too long Ethiopia and Somalia have been written into other histories. In US Foreign Policy in the Horn of Africa Jackson brilliantly situates the particularities of the region within the broader dimensions of colonialism, Cold War, and terrorism. Though the book primarily considers the period of the Cold War and after, the legacies of 1884 and the divisions of the continent are never deep beneath the surface. Jackson provides the first sustained focus on the region in US foreign policy situating the story of ‘human tragedy’ within the global and the regional dimensions. Jackson’s work is perceptive, well-written, and based on a deep reading of a multiplicity of archives. Hitherto comparatively overlooked, the story of the Horn of Africa illuminates many aspects of US foreign policy from Cold War illusions, to regional conflicts through to the violence and terrorism that continues to plague the strategic region."" -Professor David Ryan, Chair Modern History, University College Cork, Ireland" Author InformationDonna Jackson is a Senior Lecturer in Modern History, with particular specialism in American History in Department of History and Archaeology at the University of Chester, UK.
