I have been reading Howard Zinn's "A People's History of American Empire" a sort of companion to his People's History. It is in graphic novel form. Jeannine got it for me for Christmas. It cronicles America's conquests and rise to global superpower via the massacre and destruction of all in its path. It starts, of course, with the beginning of the American Empire at home, the Massacre at Wounded Knee. Today was the day the battle happened, in 1890. I dare you to go here to learn more.
Also, check out americanempireproject.com for more information about the series this Zinn comic is a part of. For some reason (and try not to read too much into this) the site is down right now, But check back periodically to see if it's up and running.
