Darbe Hawaii'den Irak'a Amerikan'nın Rejim Değişiklikleri Yüzyılı

"Regime change" did not begin with George W. Bush. It has been an integral part of American foreign policy for more than a century. After the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893, it continued throughout the 20th century and continues to the present day. The United States has unhesitatingly overthrown governments that hindered its political and economic goals. The 2003 Iraq invasion was the latest, but not the end, of such American operations.

In Coup, Stephen Kinzer tells the story of daring politicians, impudent agents, daring commanders and shameless businessmen who took it upon themselves to overthrow kings, presidents and prime ministers from power. America's long era of regime change began in Hawaii and accelerated with the Spanish-American War, which ended with the American administration of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. America then prepared and led coups that ousted the presidents of Nicaragua and Honduras from power. The Cold War showdown that started later caused America to look at all world events through the lens of competition with the Soviet Union. During this period, he organized covert operations that resulted in the murder of the South Vietnamese president and the overthrow of democratic governments in Iran, Guatemala and Chile. In recent years, invasion movements have become the main tool of regime change, as in Grenada, Panama, Afghanistan and Iraq. Stephen Kinzer conveys all of this with a striking narrative in The Coup.
