Description
The Untold History of the United States by Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick is a landmark account of the rise and decline of the American empire. Spanning eighteen presidencies from Woodrow Wilson to Donald Trump, this riveting history probes the dark corners of US administrations, revealing how far the country has drifted from its founding democratic ideals. The book documents numerous instances of US intervention in foreign conflicts, often resulting in the overthrow of elected leaders and the installation of right-wing dictators. It also examines America's atomic history, arguing that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were militarily unnecessary and morally indefensible. Furthermore, Stone and Kuznick expose how US presidents have repeatedly disregarded the US constitution and international law. This updated edition includes recent events such as Obama's second term, Trump's first year and a half, climate change, nuclear winter, Korea, Russia, Iran, China, Libya, ISIS, and Syria, providing a comprehensive understanding of the United States' role in global affairs.
