Recs if you like All the Shah's Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror...
We’re just here to “help”
This list critically examines the history of U.S. intervention in other countries, unpacking not only regime changes, but how it’s sold to the public. These books explore the political, economic, and strategic interests driving U.S. intervention, the manufactured consent that make it palatable at home, and the severe consequences and destabilization that inevitably follow abroad.
Ps. This is my first list so I’d appreciate any feedback & recommendations of reads to add
Imperialism and the cost of American intervention
Project 2025 of the Trump administration included 18 mentions of Venezuela along with China, North Korea and Russia "The US has an opportunity to lead these democratic nations in the fight against these external pressures" The list includes historical books with the addition of a few works of fiction based on stories of a similar political climate, the main themes being • The US history of enforcing foreign governments • The economics of an "empire" • The media of expansion and propaganda
RESIST Imperialism
On the political and socioeconomic subjugation of the Global Majority World by Western Powers, particularly the USA as well as the history of these regions.
These are books I’ve started reading and/or plan to read.
Politricks
A look into the United States of America and what it’s done, is doing, and will do.
