Description
The Concise Untold History of the United States by Oliver Stone and Peter J. Kuznick This book offers a fresh perspective on American history, examining the country's involvement in foreign conflicts and covert operations from the early twentieth century to the Obama administration. The authors explore how US presidents have shaped the course of world events, often prioritising political and economic gain over democratic ideals. From the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the Watergate scandal and the transformation of America into a national security state, this book sheds light on the often-overlooked aspects of US foreign policy. Based on the critically acclaimed documentary series of the same name, The Concise Untold History provides a compelling and thought-provoking account of the American Empire. By examining the darker side of American history, this book challenges readers to consider the true motivations behind US involvement around the globe.
