Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Nkrumah's Subversion in Africa. First edition, presentation copy, inscribed by the chairman of the Ghanaian National Liberation Council on the front pastedown, "Joseph Arthur Ankrah, Chairman N.L.C., Ghana. With compliments." Above the inscription is the book label of Malcolm MacDonald, a former British high commissioner in Ghana and Whitehall's Special Representative to East and Central Africa, 1965-70.During the second half of the 1960s, MacDonald worked closely with Ankrah to try and bring conflicting parties in the Nigerian Civil War to the negotiating table. He also made a favourable impression on senior leaders of communist China, whose deep-rooted political and practical support for Nkrumah is documented in this accusatory publication. According to Premier Zhou Enlai, MacDonald was "the only capitalist we can trust" (New York Times).
