“… an engaging and insightful book about an important and ignored slice of history … Robert Stephens takes us to another American-sponsored airlift that brought a generation of future African leaders to our shores for higher education. This effort profoundly altered the lives of these men and women, the development of East African nations, and the perception of America. At a time when the world struggled to understand the value of ‘soft’ as opposed to military power, this book offers a valuable historical model.”
