Daniel Immerwahr

How to Hide an Empire Overview

In the non-fiction book How to Hide an Empire, author Daniel Immerwahr tells the story of the Greater United States. Though Americans tend to think about the United States in terms of the continental 48 states, Immerwahr argues that it is important to remember the country’s many other territorial possessions, including Guam, Puerto Rico, and countless other smaller islands. The book touches on themes including empire, power, war, and racism.
