1. Imperial Life in the Emerald City
From a walled-off enclave of towering plants, smart villas and sparkling swimming pools – a surreal bubble of pure Americana known as the Green Zone – the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority, under imperial viceroy L. Paul Bremer III, attempted to rule Iraq in the first twelve months after the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime.

2. Little America
The US Government invested millions in Helmand in the 1950s and ’60s to transform the barren desert into a veritable oasis – known locally as ‘Little America’ – and then the money ran out. Four decades later, Helmand was again the focus of US efforts, as waves of Marines descended on the region. Little America tells the story of the long arc of American involvement, and of the campaign to salvage a victory in southern Afghanistan on Obama’s watch.

From Salt Lake City to Memphis to Baltimore, Upstanders remind us that participation in civic life has no bounds – and that we can all be the change we wish to see in the world.
