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"--Provided by publisher.Two centuries of US military operations in Liberia Diplomatic relationsfastMilitary relationsfastPolitics and governmentfastLiberiaPolitics and governmentLiberiaHistoryLiberiaForeign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relationsLiberiaLiberiaMilitary relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesMilitary relationsLiberiaLiberiaForeign relationsChinaChinaForeign relationsLiberiaChinafastLiberiafastUnited StatesfastHistory.fastDiplomatic relations.Military relations.Politics and government.966.62Hahn Niels1973-1369757DLCDLCOCLCOOCLCFAAUOCLCQGPOOCLCQOCLCOGPOBOOK9910708676403321Two centuries of US military operations in Liberia3396685UNINA
