Empire by Invitation: William Walker and Manifest Destiny in Central America
Michel Gobat
Michel Gobat traces the first U.S. overseas empire to William Walker, a believer in the nation’s manifest destiny to spread not only westward but abroad. In the 1850s Walker and a band of expansionists migrated to Nicaragua to free the masses from allegedly despotic elites. But what began with promises of liberation devolved into a reign of terror.
