Backyard Empire: The United States in Latin America
For two centuries the United States has treated the Western Hemisphere as its sphere of influence — and how, and why, is a messier and more revealing story than the textbook version. From the war with Mexico and the USS Maine to the Cold War interventions, the corporations that drew their own borders, and the invasions of Grenada and Panama — told from primary documents, declassified cables, and peer-reviewed scholarship. Narrated by AI voices from sourced, human-reviewed research.
