Henry Kissinger vs Jamaica: In The Words of Michael Manley
In 1975, Cuba sent troops to Angola to help them fight against an invasion by apartheid South Africa. Henry Kissinger, the US Secretary of State was angry at this, so he set out to get countries to denounce Cuba’s actions. Jamaica was one of these countries. So, in December 1975, Kissinger met with prime minister Michael Manley on the issue. On this episode, we hear from Manley, himself, how this conversation went and the events that occured in its aftermath - events, that forever changed Jamaica.
-Michael Manley’s account is taken from, Jamaica: A Struggle In The Periphery by Michael Manley. pg 111 to 117
