Israel’s African File exposes a largely hidden chapter of modern history—the complex and controversial role Israel has played in Africa since the mid-20th century. Drawing on declassified documents, investigative journalism, and first-hand African testimonies, Sam Prajnananda delivers a fearless, unflinching account of how Israel moved from ally and aid partner to arms supplier, intelligence broker, and quiet architect of neocolonial influence.
This groundbreaking book traces Israel’s early efforts to win African allies during the Cold War, its shadowy alliances with dictators and apartheid regimes, and its pivotal role in training, arming, and surveilling African states. With detailed case studies—from Uganda under Idi Amin to the covert nuclear pact with South Africa, to the spread of Israeli spyware across the continent—Israel’s African File reveals a pattern of exploitation hidden beneath aid and diplomacy.
Prajnananda centers African voices, survivors, and whistleblowers, shining a light on the lived consequences of this empire in the shadows. The book closes with a powerful call for transparency, justice, and new pan-African strategies to resist foreign manipulation. Meticulously researched and passionately argued, this is essential reading for anyone interested in Africa’s past, present, and future.
