1) Paperback Book Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq by Times Books. I just started reading this book & have read about 100 pages. This book gives a great overview of US involvement & its motive behind overthrowing other governments. I think, it will be a great read to get a good perspective on the past and present.

2) Paperback Book Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq by Times Books. Those high school and college history classes that cast the USA in a glowing llight are called to question by Kinzer. Here we find the extent to which commercial interests have dominated foreign policy. To this domination we add a huge dose of stupidity and a ton of arrogance. This will give the recipe for USA regime change operations in foreign lands. Details are included along with excellent documentation.¤

3) Paperback Book Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq by Times Books. A revealing and very well-written book on America´s history of meddling in world affairs, full of historical revelation and insight. Avoid the audiobook version of this; I don´t know the name of the person chosen to read the book but his absurdly strident intonation turns it into a joke.¤

4) Paperback Book Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq by Times Books. So there are these men, were there isn´t a lot written about them in history (There is a airport named after one of them) and anyway they kind set the pace for American foreign policy. Later on OGA´s kind of get over zealous with the help of the "First to fight people" and then congress cuts their balls off, presto 9/11. That´s a Karma Theory.¤

5) Paperback Book Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq by Times Books. If you believe Bush´s pithy statement above, then you really need to buy & read this book. I remember growing up in the 70´s, when the Iranian Islamic revolution happened, and hearing all the "Death to America, the Great Satan" chanting, and like most Americans wondering what they were so mad about.

Never in the so-called "mainstream media" did I ever hear about our overthrow of Mossedegh in Iran and (re)installation of the brutul Shah. Err, that´s why they hate us! Recommended reading for all US history classes...¤

“Detailed, passionate and convincing . . . [with] the pace and grip of a good thriller.”—Anatol Lieven, The New York Times Book Review

"Regime change” did not begin with the administration of George W. Bush, but has been an integral part of U.S. foreign policy for more than one hundred years. Starting with the toppling of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893, the United States has not hesitated to overthrow governments that stood in the way of its political and economic goals. The invasion of Iraq in 2003 is but the latest example of the dangers inherent in these operations.

In Overthrow, Stephen Kinzer tells the stories of the audacious politicians, spies, military commanders, and business executives who took it upon themselves to depose foreign regimes. He details the three eras of America’s regime-change century—the imperial era, which brought Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Nicaragua, and Honduras under America’s sway; the cold war era, which employed covert action against Iran, Guatemala, South Vietnam, and Chile; and the invasion era, which saw American troops toppling governments in Grenada, Panama, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

Kinzer explains why the U.S. government has pursued these operations and why so many of them have had disastrous long-term consequences, making Overthrow a cautionary tale that serves as an urgent warning as the United States seeks to define its role in the modern world.
