Beschreibung
For a country that has always denied having dreams of empire, the United States owns a lot of overseas territory. This book tells the story of the United States outside the United States - from nineteenth-century conquests like Alaska, Hawai`i, the Philippines and Puerto Rico, to the catalogue of islands, archipelagos and military bases dotted around the globe over which the Stars and Stripes flies. Many are thousands of miles from the mainland; all are central to its history. Full of surprises, and driven by an original conception of what empire and globalisation mean today.
