Just finished this outstanding book by @stuartareid. Finally feel like I have a good grasp of this chapter of the Cold War and decolonization. Vivid writing and a careful attention to the agency of all actors mark this excellent book. Highly recommended!
How close were Ukraine and Russia to a deal? Closer than you might think. @scharap and @DrRadchenko obtained bombshell documents from the spring of 2022: foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/talks-…
Still looking for help IDing people from this 1960 photo. Thanks!
If you are into 500+ page books about the Congo like I am, might I recommend The Lumumba Plot? Bonus points for bumbling Cold War spies: stuartareid.com/the-lumumba-pl…
Finished reading The Lumumba Plot today. In the 23 years the Congo has been a part of my life I've read a bookshelf worth on its history. This was one of the best books I've read in a very long time.
Sharing 4 instead of 2 book recommendations this week- 4 of the best I’ve read in recent months: The Lumumba Plot - @stuartareid The Djinn Waits A Hundred Years- @ShubnumKhan A Spell of Good Things-Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ Call and Response- Gothataone Moeng
“He needs a certification…Proof he can hold up and say, yet again, ‘The country is behind me.’” My @NewYorker essay on Putin’s reelection this weekend and how two years of war has (and has not) recast Russian politics, society, economy. newyorker.com/news/the-weeke…
I highly recommend @FareedZakaria's new book, Age of Revolutions, imminently forthcoming from @wwnorton. Having taken an early look, I can tell you it's an utterly engrossing tour through our world's revolutionary past, distant and recent. wwnorton.com/books/97803932…
This week’s podcast is on the assassination of Lumumba and the risks world leaders take when trying to be neutral v the USA theintercept.com/2024/03/01/dec…

Thank you! Yes, Maya Angelou makes a cameo in THE LUMUMBA PLOT, as do Dave Chappelle's mother, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, Barack Obama Sr., W. E. B. Du Bois, Louis Armstrong, and David Halberstam.

Podcast recommendation: "Dissident at the Doorstep." Fascinating look at the rise and escape of Chen Guangcheng—and his subsequent transformation in the U.S. Hard topic, handled expertly. Bravo to @yangyang_cheng, @aliklay, Colin Jones, and @CrookedMedia. crooked.com/podcast/introd…

Thanks to @stuartareid and @AnnetteJosephG for your pieces directing me to the book.
Now listening to ‘The Lumumba Plot: The Secret History of the CIA and a Cold War Assassination’ by @stuartareid.
Summer reading list acquired…📚 The Lumumba Plot by @stuartareid A Day in the Life of Abed Salama by @NathanThrall
Finished reading The Lumumba Plot today. In the 23 years the Congo has been a part of my life I've read a bookshelf worth on its history. This was one of the best books I've read in a very long time.
@stuartareid I just finished reading my copy of your book! @FreddyMpinda can probably help you. He has an incredible network.
Sharing 4 instead of 2 book recommendations this week- 4 of the best I’ve read in recent months: The Lumumba Plot - @stuartareid The Djinn Waits A Hundred Years- @ShubnumKhan A Spell of Good Things-Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ Call and Response- Gothataone Moeng
Thank you for sharing this with us Stuart. Just when I think that I have read, seen, heard and felt such poignant stories on here your's and your beautiful daughter's pierced my heart. I cried, I smiled and am hopeful that you will have a good life. Love and hope will heal you❤️

@stuartareid @Slate Thanks again for sharing this. Would love to connect and share how similar our story is.
Happy #RareDiseaseDay! Lucy, 5, #STXBP1, working HARD on that first word (Hiiiiiii!) and independent steps. Effortlessly bringing all the sunshine ☀️
The Lumumba Plot is excellent.
Book recommendations for this week are two I’ve suggested before- but feel like it’s worth recommending again: The Lumumba Plot - by @stuartareid And Dictatorland- by Paul Kenyon

Would highly recommend this book
63 years ago today, the world learned of Patrice Lumumba's death. He and two others had been killed weeks earlier by a firing squad, but the authorities in the breakaway province of Katanga concocted a cover story. From my book, The Lumumba Plot:

@stuartareid Thank you for writing this. Our daughter is 2.5 and you’ve put into words nearly everything that we’ve been through.
@stuartareid I see how you got to that, but it's not an echo. She's having an audible, more or less coherent, conversation with herself.
This is a wonderful piece
