Congo in the Cold War: Patrice Lumumba and an Assassination That Remade a Region

In the first of an exciting series of interviews, Toast n' Topics speaks with Stuart Reid, Senior Fellow for History and Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations. We focus on Stuart's book "The Lumumba Plot", discussing the riveting plot of the CIA to assassinate Patrice Lumumba, The Congo's first Prime Minister. In the podcast, we learn more about Congo's history, their relationship with the US and other foreign countries, as well as the role that other peacekeeping organizations had in the final outcome of Congo's independence.
