A Publishers Weekly best book of 2019 | A 2019 NPR Staff Pick

A pathbreaking history of the United States’ overseas possessions and the true meaning of its empire

We are familiar with maps that outline all fifty states. And we are also familiar with the idea that the United States is an “empire,” exercising power around the world. But what about the actual territories—the islands, atolls, and archipelagos—this country has governed and inhabited?

In How to Hide an Empire, Daniel Immerwahr tells the fascinating story of the United States outside the United States. In crackling, fast-paced prose, he reveals forgotten episodes that cast American history in a new light. We travel to the Guano Islands, where prospectors collected one of the nineteenth century’s most valuable commodities, and the Philippines, site of the most destructive event on U.S. soil. In Puerto Rico, Immerwahr shows how U.S. doctors conducted grisly experiments they would never have conducted on the mainland and charts the emergence of independence fighters who would shoot up the U.S. Congress.

In the years after World War II, Immerwahr notes, the United States moved away from colonialism. Instead, it put innovations in electronics, transportation, and culture to use, devising a new sort of influence that did not require the control of colonies. Rich with absorbing vignettes, full of surprises, and driven by an original conception of what empire and globalization mean today, How to Hide an Empire is a major and compulsively readable work of history.

Woke History 101 from Far Left. This book reads like a NY Times or Washington Post article and you can almost hear the author whining hysterically at one point as they shriek “And that’s how you hide an empire!” The author loves to take every possible step to demonize white people and ignore, obfuscate and belittle advances in technology, sanitization and healthcare achieved through American history by white Americans. It should be entitled “How to Hide a Racist” given the author’s penchant to focus solely on racial issues instead of economic and technological ones. Be prepared to be frustrated by the one-sided and highly interpretative subjective fact-omitting narrative-based reporting style of this author.

Not your mother’s history book. I enjoyed this book and learned a lot within these pages. It is politically biased which can be annoying , but it’s not so bad to stop reading . The book answers questions I’ve always wondered about and had me researching even more.

Necessary and entertaining. Amazing unbiased overview of USA history and more importantly where it is today . Helps clarify why the impact of the USA is so profound both for good and bad. The USA with over 800 territories/bases worldwide today (all other countries less than 30 territories worldwide), it helps explain current domestic and foreign USA policies. Must read for historians and any country impacted by the USA (really all countries)

An uncomfortable but necessary read.. This incredible examination of expansion, contraction, and transition of the contiguous United States from the popular “logo map” to empire, and then to a menagerie of pointillist bases is comprehensive and captivating. Immerwahr highlights and underscores the unpopular, the unknown, and the downright disgusting aspects of American imperial ambition. Shedding lights on the darker parts of our history is critical to repairing relationships and fostering international goodwill, and drives home the adage that those who fail to know their history are doomed to repeat it. This is a must read!
