Who has a spare 97 minutes?

There's a spellbinding lecture on http://www.informationclearinghouse.inf ... e17743.htm which should have been prime-time viewing on US television but I bet it wasn't.Beginning with the ouster of Hawaii's monarchy in 1893, Kinzer runs through the foreign governments the U.S. has had a hand in toppling

Stephen Kinzer presents his most recent book Overthrow, America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq.

Mr. Kinzer is an award-winning foreign correspondent for The New York Times who has reported from more than fifty countries on four continents. He has served as the paper's bureau chief in Turkey, Germany and Nicaragua.If anyone watches it they might like to post their impression here.

Had I found this earlier I'd gladly have viewed it but, being 01:00 on a workday morning I'll have to delay it until next week.
