How to Hide an Empire: A Short History of the Greater United States

內容簡介

內容簡介 作者指出，美國在二戰後擺脫殖民主義，運用電子、交通和文化的創新，發展出無需擁有殖民地的新影響力，並建立新貌。本書從帝國與全球化的意義出發，引人入勝。 'Wry, readable and often astonishing... A provocative and absorbing history of the United States' New York Times The United States denies having dreams of empire. We know America has spread its money, language and culture across the world, but we still think of it as a contained territory, framed by Canada above, Mexico below, and oceans either side. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is the story of the United States outside the United States – from nineteenth-century conquests like Alaska and Puerto Rico to the catalogue of islands, archipelagos and military bases dotted around the globe. Full of surprises and previously forgotten episodes, this fascinating book casts America's history, and its present, in a revealing new light.
