After a contentious race and victory in our current election, we are now looking back on the events surrounding the 1900s election. Steven dives into the narrow ratification of the treaty of Paris, the politics of imperial and non-imperialist, and the beginning of the loss of innocence in the American culture. We are pleased to have you join us for part 2 of our interview with Steven Kinzer.  

Stephen Kinzer is an award-winning foreign correspondent who has covered more than 50 countries on five continents. Kinzer spent more than 20 years working for the New York Times, most of it as a foreign correspondent. His foreign postings placed him at the center of historic events and, at times, in the line of fire.

In 2006 Kinzer published Overthrow: America’s Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq. It recounts the 14 times the United States has overthrown foreign governments. Kinzer seeks to explain why these interventions were carried out and what their long-term effects have been. In 2017 Kinzer published The True Flag: Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, and the Birth of the American Empire. It describes America’s first great debate over military intervention abroad.
