Story
We are familiar with maps that outline all 50 states. And we are also familiar with the idea that the United States is an "empire", exercising power around the world. But what about the actual territories - the islands, atolls, and archipelagos - this country has governed and inhabited? In How to Hide an Empire, author Daniel Immerwahr tells the fascinating story of the United States outside the United States. In crackling, fast-paced prose, he reveals forgotten episodes that cast American history in a new light.

This book explains the history of American Imperialism in a captivating and accessible way. It ties different historical events together nicely and builds a compelling case for America’s former and current status as an empire, all but hidden to mainland Americans.
