Evangelicals in the Shadows of Global Conflict In the twentieth century, a hidden chapter of the Cold War unfolded in Africa, shaped by American evangelical missionaries. Accidental Diplomats uncovers this lesser-known story, revealing how these missionaries’ quest to spread the gospel intersected with global geopolitics. Their spiritual mission had an unforeseen impact on the socio-political dynamics of the era. This book offers a deep dive into the complex interplay of evangelical missions, African politics, and Cold War strategies. It explores the significant yet subtle role of faith in shaping international relations and cultural transformations in Congo, Ethiopia, and Kenya. The narrative brings to light key events and influential figures, unraveling the intricate web of religion and global power politics. Accidental Diplomats is an enlightening read that challenges conventional Cold War narratives, spotlighting the often-overlooked influence of American evangelicals in shaping Africa’s political landscape during this tumultuous period. Providing a unique perspective on the intersections of faith, history, and international diplomacy during the Cold War, this book will be a valuable resource for scholars and lay readers alike.

"The harrowing story of the 1,600 European, American and Asian foreigners who were held hostage in Stanleyville for an eternity, an eternity of one hundred and eleven days. It begins on August 4th, 1964, when an enraged band of Congo Rebels closes in on Stanleyville. It ends on November 24th with the massacre in which Dr. Carlson and other missionaries lost their lives minutes before Belgian paratroops arrived to rescue them. ... With painstaking attention to detail, David Reed conveys the sight and sound of unbridled power in the hands of the savage and the civilized: the grotesque attempts of the Simba leaders to posture as members of a civilized government and the ruthless progress of the white mercenaries, led by Major Mike Hoare, marching on Stanleyville. He portrays the humiliation and terrible indignities suffered by the American and European missionaries and consular staffs."--Dust jacket flap.
