BOOK DESCRIPTION: This book reviews the history of the United States – Liberia relations from the early 1820s to 2015, with particular attention paid to the role of the US armed forces. Contrary to most literature on the genesis and development of Liberia, this book demonstrates how US military power has been the primary influence shaping Liberia’s history. This includes the role played by the US military in the founding of Liberia, the protection of the country during the European formal colonial era, multiple covert operations in securing US-friendly administrations in Liberia, and direct military interventions when necessary to secure American interests in the region.
Two Centuries of Military Operations in Liberia. Hope is that this text will enhance our comprehension of Liberia’s history in relation to U.S. imperialism and help us recognize that Liberia’s experience is not unique but rather part of a broader U.S. campaign to extinguish any sparks of Pan-Africanism on the African continent.
