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"--$cProvided by publisher. 517 $aTwo centuries of US military operations in Liberia 606 $aDiplomatic relations$2fast 606 $aMilitary relations$2fast 606 $aPolitics and government$2fast 607 $aLiberia$xPolitics and government 607 $aLiberia$xHistory 607 $aLiberia$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zLiberia 607 $aLiberia$xMilitary relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary relations$zLiberia 607 $aLiberia$xForeign relations$zChina 607 $aChina$xForeign relations$zLiberia 607 $aChina$2fast 607 $aLiberia$2fast 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 7$aDiplomatic relations. 615 7$aMilitary relations. 615 7$aPolitics and government. 676 $a966.62 700 $aHahn$b Niels$f1973-$01369757 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bAAU 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bGPO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910708676403321 996 $aTwo centuries of US military operations in Liberia$93396685 997 $aUNINA
