A 2019 NPR Staff Pick and a Publishers Weekly Best Book
A ground-breaking history of the U.S.’s overseas territories and the real meaning of its empire
We know how to read maps that show all fifty states. We also know that the United States is called an “empire” because it has power worldwide. But what about the islands, atolls, and archipelagos that this country has ruled over and put people on?
Daniel Immerwahr tells the fascinating story of the United States outside of the United States in his book How to Hide an Empire. In fast-paced, exciting writing, he speaks about forgotten events that show American history in a new way. We go to the Guano Islands, where prospectors found one of the most valuable goods of the 1800s, and the Philippines, where the worst thing to happen on U.S. soil occurred. Immerwahr shows how U.S. doctors did horrible experiments in Puerto Rico that they would never have done on the mainland. He also traces the rise of independence fighters who would later shoot up the U.S. Congress.
Immerwahr says that the US moved away from colonialism in the years after World War II. Instead, it used new ideas in electronics, transportation, and culture to create a new kind of power that didn’t depend on taking over colonies. How to Hide an Empire is a significant and hard-to-put-down work of history. It is full of exciting stories, full of surprises, and based on an original idea of what empire and globalization mean today.
