For the month of February, we’re doing a deep dive into the history that has led to the current genocide in Gaza, taking a particular look at how our countries (the U.S. and the U.K.) paved the way for atrocities we now also fund. This week, we’re journeying back to the Spanish American War to talk about the birth of American Imperialism. This week’s book: The True Flag: Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, and the Birth of the American Empire by Stephen Kinzer
