DESCRIPTION:Event @ the World Affairs Council, 4/13  What: “Overthrow: America's 
 Century of Regime Change” A Meet the Author Program  Who: Stephen Kinzer, 
 award-winning foreign correspondent for The New York Times who has served 
 as the paper’s bureau chief in Turkey, Germany, and Nicaragua; author, 
 All the Shah’s Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror 
 and Crescent and Star: Turkey Between Two Worlds  Event: In Stephen 
 Kinzer's new book Overthrow, he shows that "regime change” did not begin 
 with the administration of George W. Bush, but has been an integral part of 
 U.S. foreign policy for more than one hundred years. Starting with the 
 overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 and continuing through the 
 Spanish-American War and the Cold War and into our own time, the United 
 States has not hesitated to overthrow governments that stood in the way of 
 its political and economic goals.  The invasion of Iraq in 2003 is the 
 latest example of the dangers inherent in these operations. He also shows 
 that the U.S. government has often pursued these operations without 
 understanding the countries involved; as a result, many of them have had 
 disastrous long-term consequences. In a compelling and provocative history 
 that takes readers to fourteen countries, including Cuba, Iran, South 
 Vietnam, Chile, and Iraq, Kinzer surveys modern American history from a new 
 and often surprising perspective.  When: Thursday, April 13th; Check-in:
