The Not-Quite States of America: Dispatches from the Territories and Other Far-Flung Outposts of the USA by Doug Mack
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

History, geography and travelogue all rolled into one, The Not-Quite States of America is a fun and informative read on the subject of America's territories. Doug Mack travels to each of the five American territories, and gives you a taste of what makes each one unique, and what the territories have in common with each other and with the rest of the US, as he explores the legal and political reality of their their fuzzy quasi-colony status.
