Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq

Description: Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq Stephen Kinzer and Michael Prichard Product Overview A fast-paced narrative history of the coups, revolutions, and invasions by
which the United States has toppled fourteen foreign governments-not always to
its own benefit. "Regime change" did not begin with the administration of
George W. Bush, but has been an integral part of U.S. foreign policy for more
than one hundred years. Starting with the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy
in 1893 and continuing through the Spanish-American War and the Cold War and
into our own time, the United States has not hesitated to overthrow
governments that stood in the way of its political and economic goals. The
invasion of Iraq in 2003 is the latest, though perhaps not the last, example
of the dangers inherent in these operations. In Overthrow, Stephen Kinzer
tells the stories of the audacious politicians, spies, military commanders,
and business executives who took it upon themselves to depose monarchs,
presidents, and prime ministers. He also shows that the U.S. government has
often pursued these operations without understanding the countries involved;
as a result, many of them have had disastrous long-term consequences. Read
