How to Hide an Empire

A History of the Greater United States
Book • 2019
This book delves into the history of the United States' expansion beyond its contiguous territories, including its governance of islands, atolls, and archipelagos.

It explores how the U.S.

transitioned from colonialism to a new form of influence leveraging technology, culture, and military presence.

The book covers topics such as the U.S.

occupation of the Philippines, the role of English as a global language, and the impact of U.S.

bases worldwide.

Immerwahr argues that American empire-building began early and continued through various means, often without significant territorial expansion.
