Description
The Untold History of the United States by Oliver Stone and Peter J. Kuznick is a landmark account of the rise and decline of the American empire. This book probes the dark corners of the administrations of 17 presidents, from Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama, to examine how the US has drifted from its founding democratic ideals. The authors document the US's repeated interventions in conflicts on foreign soil, including covert operations and wars in Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. They also explore the atomic history of the US, arguing that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were militarily unnecessary and morally indefensible. Using the latest research and recently declassified records, The Untold History builds a meticulously documented picture of the American empire, showing how it has determined the course of world events for the interests of the few across the twentieth century and beyond.
