Brownbag: Daniel Immerwahr on “How to Hide An Empire”
Join our Brownbag this Wednesday, March 13, 2019, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm.
Our Northwestern colleague Daniel Immerwahr will be here to talk about his new book, How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States. The book has been out barely more than two weeks but already has created quite a splash.

For Immerwahr talking about the book on “Fresh Air”:
And for the kind of puff piece, any historian (at least younger than 40) would die for https://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/books/ct-books-cb-how-to-hide-an-empire-0221-story.html
