Escape From Davao
The “riveting” (John Wukovits, author of Admiral “Bull” Halsey) and all-but-unknown account of ten American prisoners of war who escaped from a Japanese prison during World War II. On April 4, 1943, ten American prisoners of war and two Filipino convicts executed a daring escape from one of Japan’s most notorious prison camps. The prisoners were survivors of the infamous Bataan Death March and the Fall of Corregidor, and the prison from which they escaped was surrounded by an impenetrable swamp and reputedly escape-proof. Theirs was the only successful group escape from a Japanese POW camp during the Pacific war. Escape from Davao is the “remarkable” (Bill Sloan, author of Brot...

How to Hide an Empire
'Wry, readable and often astonishing... A provocative and absorbing history of the United States' New York Times The United States denies having dreams of empire. We know America has spread its money, language and culture across the world, but we still think of it as a contained territory, framed by Canada above, Mexico below, and oceans either side. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is the story of the United States outside the United States – from nineteenth-century conquests like Alaska and Puerto Rico to the catalogue of islands, archipelagos and military bases dotted around the globe. Full of surprises and previously forgotten episodes, this fascinating book casts America’s history, and its present, in a revealing new light.

Cómo ocultar un imperio
Estamos familiarizados con los mapas que delimitan los cincuenta estados. Y también estamos familiarizados con la idea de que Estados Unidos es un "imperio" que ejerce su poder en todo el mundo. ¿Pero qué hay de los territorios reales -las islas, atolones y archipiélagos- que este país ha gobernado y habitado? En 'Cómo ocultar un imperio', Daniel Immerwahr cuenta la fascinante historia de Estados Unidos fuera de los Estados Unidos. Con una prosa crepitante y rápida, revela episodios olvidados que arrojan una nueva luz sobre la historia estadounidense. Viajamos a las Islas del Guano, donde los buscadores recogieron uno de los productos más valiosos del siglo XIX, y a Filipinas, escena...
Das heimliche Imperium
Das Territorium der USA ist viel größer als die offzielle Landkarte zeigt. Der amerikanische Historiker Daniel Immerwahr entlarvt, wie es gelang, ein ganzes Weltreich zu errichten, ohne dass die Welt es merkte. Zu den Vereinigten Staaten gehörten (und gehören zum Teil bis heute) unter anderem: die Philippinen und Puerto Rico, verschiedene Inseln im Pazifik sowie Teile Samoas. Einst Kolonien oder zur Ausbeutung von Rohstoffen annektiert, wurden sie nach 1945 als Außengebiete der USA bezeichnet. In fesselnden Episoden schildert Immerwahr die Geschichte des verborgenen US-Imperialismus. Er schreibt über Menschenversuche in Puerto Rico, über den Spanisch-Amerikanischen Krieg auf den Phili...
