The Forging of the American Empire
Author: Sidney Lens
Publisher: Pluto Press
ISBN: 9780745321004
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
From Mexico to Vietnam, from Nicaragua to Lebanon, and more recently to Kosovo, East Timor and now Iraq, the United States has intervened in the affairs of other nations. Yet American leaders continue to promote the myth that America is benevolent and peace-loving, and involves itself in conflicts only to defend the rights of others; excesses and cruelties, though sometimes admitted, usually are regarded as momentary aberrations.This classic book is the first truly comprehensive history of American imperialism. Now fully updated, and featuring a new introduction by Howard Zinn, it is a must-read for all students and scholars of American history. Renowned author Sidney Lens shows how the United States, from the time it gained its own independence, has used every available means - political, economic, and military - to dominate other nations.Lens presents a powerful argument, meticulously pieced together from a huge array of sources, to prove that imperialism is an inevitable consequence of the U.S. economic system. Surveying the pressures, external and internal, on the United States today, he concludes that like any other empire, the reign of the U.S. will end -- and he examines how this time of reckoning may come about.

History Is Fascinating
Author: Homer Adams
Publisher: Vantage Press, Inc
ISBN: 9780533158812
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Prolific author Homer J. Adams, whose previously published books included suggestions for college students and wisdom for senior citizens, now takes on a much larger and more difficult subject-history! "People don't automatically like history," writes the author, "but they love a good story. History is a story, or rather a collection of stories, about people and how they lived and loved. These accounts are shot through with humor and human interest ... which, for too long, has been minimized in the study of history." In his new offering, History Is Fascinating-And I Can Prove It!, Mr. Adams's selections are rich in colorful anecdotes and vivid imagery. He is also a talented storyteller with a love for creating distinct character portrayals that readers can easily embrace. Therein lies the readability of these historical references ... readers will easily absorb the storyline while becoming enchanted with the story itself and its characters. For instance, in the World History section, there are engaging vignettes on "Queen Elizabeth's Toothache," "Columbus and the Moon's Eclipse," and "Galileo." Elsewhere, the section on the Nineteenth Century includes "Dirty Politics-1824" and "Yankee Inventiveness," while the Current Century section includes an homage to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. "I hope that these brief historical accounts," writes Mr. Adams, "will add to the reader's knowledge of past events and the way people lived." Book jacket.
