The CIA's involvement in apartheid South Africa

Jeremy Kuzmarov, from Covert Action Magazine, covers the CIA's role in Mandela's arrest, America's shifting stance on apartheid, and the broader fight over Africa's resources.

In short, he argues that the CIA (and US government) both supported and opposed apartheid based on whatever benefitted the US, such as the mines.
