The bestselling author of Overthrow and The Brothers brings to life the forgotten political debate that set America’s interventionist course in the world for the twentieth century and beyond. How should the United States act in the world? Americans cannot decide. Sometimes we burn with righteous anger, launching foreign wars and deposing governments. Then we retreat—until the cycle begins again. No matter how often we debate this question, none of what we say is original. Every argument is a pale shadow of the first and greatest debate, which erupted more than a century ago. Its themes resurface every time Americans argue whether to intervene in a foreign country. Revealing a piece of forgotten history, Stephen Kinzer transports us to the dawn of the twentieth century, when the United States first found itself with the chance to dominate faraway lands. That prospect thrilled some Americans. It horrified others. Their debate gripped the nation. The country’s best-known political and intellectual leaders took sides. Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Cabot Lodge, and William Randolph Hearst pushed for imperial expansion; Mark Twain, Booker T. Washington, and Andrew Carnegie preached restraint. Only once before—in the period when the United States was founded—have so many brilliant Americans so eloquently debated a question so fraught with meaning for all humanity. All Americans, regardless of political perspective, can take inspiration from the titans who faced off in this epic confrontation. Their words are amazingly current. Every argument over America’s role in the world grows from this one. It all starts here.

The fascinating story of American efforts to liberate and remake Russia since the 1880s.

Annotation American Empire challenges our deepest assumptions about the rise of American globalism in the twentieth century and puts geography back into the History of what is called the American Century.

How could the United States, a nation founded on the principles of liberty and equality, have produced Abu Ghraib, torture memos, Plamegate, and warrantless wiretaps? Did America set out to become an empire? And if so, how has it reconciled its imperialism--and in some cases, its crimes--with the idea of liberty so forcefully expressed in the Declaration of Independence? Empire for Liberty tells the story of men who used the rhetoric of liberty to further their imperial ambitions, and reveals that the quest for empire has guided the nation's architects from the very beginning--and continues to do so today.

For Americans and Global citizens of the Earth, let us make one thing real clear: The American Government is satanic and white supremacists controlled! Discover the current facts and real state of the union in this explosive expose on how supremacy is institutionalized in the American Government. Currently, Chicanos, Indians, and Mexicans are under attack by the United States Government. Brown-Americans are currently being targeted for illegal activities by law enforcement, the military, and the courts. Jose has experienced this first hand, and provides an account of events that has led him to write and report about his own experiences and how the American Government is operating on a daily basis. The U.S. Government is controlled and operated by satanic white supremacists and they have many servants that obey their masters. In this new and explosive book, Jose links the American Government's satanic agenda with white supremacy. In today's America new military technology is being used by local law enforcement and the taxpayers are paying for it all. All of today's advanced technology is being used for spying on ordinary Brown-Americans. As Indians and Mexicans are the original inhabitants of this Land, the American Government has done everything they can to suppress and oppress Brown people of human, legal, and civil rights. American white supremacists are having their "heyday" under the leadership of the current white supremacist President Donald J. Trump. From the Federal to Municipal levels of American Government, white supremacists are controlling and callling the shots in the military and in law enforcement. The agenda of white supremacy is truly satanic in origin. Since the era of the civil rights movement, very little has changed for American ethnic minorities. Mexicans and Indians have been struggling for their equal and civil rights but are getting nowhere under American law. As a natural born Mexican-American citizen, Jose has been experiencing racism in America all of his life. Jose has filed several lawsuits against the State of California, County of Los Angeles, and other public entities and various law enforcement agencies. Jose exposes and details how the American Government uses advanced technology and employs a variety of people to carry out the "American satanic white supremacist agenda". From a Christian perspective, Jose also demonstrates how it is not in God's design or plan for American satanic white supremacists to control and oppress Brown people throughout the world. Jose opens his new and controversial book with the fact that the One Supreme God does truly exist and created everything seen and unseen in all of the Universe. Jose then goes on to explain how Chicanos, Indians, and Mexicans have suffered since the Europeans invaded and took control of their original land as far back as 1492. Jose then exposes the Courts and Government agencies for their financing and promoting of their illegal activities against Brown-Americans. American law enforcement operates to control and secure the legal rights of the American satanic white supremacists. In this new and provocative book, Jose proves his case with evidence, names, and locations of the American Satanic white supremacists and their servants. In Jose's view, American satanic white supremacy can be defeated, but not without God. In this book, Jose covers the current state of philosophy, politics, and spy technology. "American Satanic White Supremacy Exposed" is a heavy read. But this book is written in an easy and simple format so anyone needing to understand the challenges of what Brown-Americans are facing in today's modern American society is evil, malicious, and racist. Jose employs pictures, art, and even a word of prayer that will enable the power of God and chance for freedom. Jose covers the broken War Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo of 1848 and the settled border line that prohibits the building of a "border wall".

In a narrative-redefining approach, Engaging the Evil Empire dramatically alters how we look at the beginning of the end of the Cold War. Tracking key events in US-Soviet relations across the years between 1980 and 1985, Simon Miles shows that covert engagement gave way to overt conversation as both superpowers determined that open diplomacy was the best means of furthering their own, primarily competitive, goals. Miles narrates the history of these dramatic years, as President Ronald Reagan consistently applied a disciplined carrot-and-stick approach, reaching out to Moscow while at the same time excoriating the Soviet system and building up US military capabilities. The received wisdom in diplomatic circles is that the beginning of the end of the Cold War came from changing policy preferences and that President Reagan in particular opted for a more conciliatory and less bellicose diplomatic approach. In reality, Miles clearly demonstrates, Reagan and ranking officials in the National Security Council had determined that the United States enjoyed a strategic margin of error that permitted it to engage Moscow overtly. As US grand strategy developed, so did that of the Soviet Union. Engaging the Evil Empire covers five critical years of Cold War history when Soviet leaders tried to reduce tensions between the two nations in order to gain economic breathing room and, to ensure domestic political stability, prioritize expenditures on butter over those on guns. Miles's bold narrative shifts the focus of Cold War historians away from exclusive attention on Washington by focusing on the years of back-channel communiqués and internal strategy debates in Moscow as well as Prague and East Berlin.
