With recent talk about regime change in Iran, it’s easy to forget America’s history with that country and with regime change in general. New York Times correspondent Stephen Kinzer says Americans would do well to remember. He’s the author of Overthrow: America’s Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq.
