Great research and writing! I first read about the Hawaii overthrow in Kinzer’s book, “Overthrow,” about the nasty history of our government in overthrowing governments elsewhere. I wrote an op-ed on the anniversary of the overthrow of the Mossadegh government in Iran, but Newsday chose not to run it. I’d argue that was the overthrow with the most long-lasting consequences.

Agree on Mossadegh. Thanks!
