Yet there is a tradition of American anti-imperialism that exposes this misleading mythology. \u003ci\u003eAmerican Insurgents\u003c\/i\u003e is a surprising, revelatory history of anti-imperialism in the United States since the American Revolution. It charts the movements against empire from the Indian Wars and the expansionism of the slave South to the Anti-Imperialist League of Mark Twain and Jane Addams. Seymour crafts a lively and transparent explanation of why some of these movements succeeded and others failed. The result is a vital perspective for those organizing antiwar resistance today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Seymour is a socialist writer and columnist and runs the blog Lenin's Tomb.
