Dr Crocker (1941-) was assistant Secretary of State and was the "point man" for United States policy in Africa from 1981-1989. His negotiating skills helped drive the withdrawal of South African troops from Namibia, whilst at the same time Cuban troops withdrew from Angola. This facilitated Namibia's subsequent independence and led to a considerable realignment of the political situation in southern Africa. Crocker's work should have been more appreciated. An important study of the sub-continent during a tumultuous time.
