58:40Now PlayingStuart A. Reid, an Executive Editor at Foreign Affairs and author of The Lumumba Plot: The Secret History of the CIA and a Cold War Assassination, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Stuart discuss the CIA's role in the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the first leader of independent Congo, how paranoia over the threat of communism and the USSR's intentions led America astray during the Cold War, why the Congo crisis delegitimized the United Nations as a conflict mediator, the parallels between the first Cold War and U.S. China competition today, and the legacy of decolonization's success and failures in Africa.
