Underground Empire

"Underground Empire," by political scientists Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman, explores the hidden network of telecommunications and financial systems that underpin American influence on the global stage. The book examines how this underground infrastructure has become a powerful tool for economic dominance and espionage since the end of the Cold War, amid rising efforts by other nations to challenge this system. Through compelling stories of surveillance, covert projects, and international conflicts, it offers a thought-provoking view of contemporary geopolitics and the fragile state of global order.
