520    Many are familiar with maps that outline all fifty U.S. 
       states. And many are also familiar with the idea that the 
       U.S. is an "empire," exercising power around the world. 
       But what about the actual territories - the islands, 
       atolls, and archipelagos - the country has governed and 
       inhabited? In this book, the author tells the story of the
       United States outside of the United States. This book 
       reveals forgotten episodes that cast American history in a
       new light. Readers travel to the Guano Islands, where 
       prospectors collected one of the nineteenth century's most
       valuable commodities, and the Philippines, site of the 
       most destructive event on U.S. soil. In Puerto Rico, the 
       author shows how U.S. doctors conducted grisly experiments
       they would never have conducted on the mainland and charts
       the emergence of independence fighters who would shoot up 
       the U.S. Congress. In the years after World War II, the 
       author notes, the United States moved away from 
       colonialism. Instead, it put innovations in electronics, 
       transportation, and culture to use, devising a new sort of
       influence that did not require the control of colonies. --
