How to Hide an Empire is a breakthrough, for both Daniel Immerwahr and our collective understanding of America’s role in the world. Bacevich, author of Twilight of the American Century It is brilliantly conceived, utterly original, and immensely entertaining - simultaneously vivid, sardonic and deadly serious. How to Hide an Empire renders them all obsolete. There are many histories of American expansionism. Hollinger, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of California, Berkeley, and author of Protestants Abroad By focusing on the processes by which Americans acquired, controlled, and were affected by territory, Daniel Immerwahr shows that the United States was not just another "empire," but was a highly distinctive one the dimensions of which have been largely ignored. This book changes our understanding of the fundamental character of the United States as a presence in world history.
