This book is a complete account of the rise and fall of the United States, the most powerful empire in history to date. Through an in-depth analysis of the dark side of the 18 U.S. presidents from Wilson to Trump, the author shows the various mistakes the United States made in its pursuit of interests and embarked on the road of empire and conquest. Starting from the bloody suppression of the Philippine independence struggle, spanning two world wars, and ending with the war on terrorism that lasted for many years, this book records how the U.S. government, coerced by capital and careerists, defended national security, eliminated potential threats, and spread democracy and freedom. On other pretexts, it has repeatedly been involved in conflicts in Latin America, Asia, the Middle East and other regions.
