The Disgrace of America’s Empire – Loving a Country That Doesn’t Love You

In The Disgrace of America’s Empire, Michael J. Henderson tells the stories of soldiers from marginalized communities—Black, Latino, Asian, and LGBTQ+ individuals—who fought valiantly for the U.S. military, only to return home to face rejection, discrimination, and violence. This gripping novel explores the betrayal they endured upon their return and the systemic injustices that continue to affect them. From veterans facing deportation to those dishonorably discharged because of their identity, this book offers an emotional look at the fight for justice that extends far beyond the battlefield. As Henderson uncovers the stories of these forgotten patriots, he challenges readers to confront the deep-seated racism, xenophobia, and inequality that persist in the nation today.
