*The New York Times bestseller****Updated to include Obama's second

winter, Korea, Russia, Iran, China, Libya, ISIS, and Syria** 'This
is not history for history's sake, however - this is the history of
our present and future, long beyond cold war, into war on terror,
war on drugs' Ed Vulliamy, GuardianThe Untold History of the United
States is filmmaker Oliver Stone and historian Peter Kuznick's
riveting landmark account of the rise and decline of the American
empire - the most powerful and dominant nation the world has ever
seen. Probing the dark corners of the administrations of eighteen
presidents, from Woodrow Wilson to Donald Trump, they dare to ask
just how far the US has drifted from its founding democratic
ideals. Beginning with the bloody suppression of the Filipino
struggle for independence and spanning the two World Wars, it
documents how US administrations have repeatedly intervened in
conflicts on foreign soil, taking part in covert operations and
wars in Latin American, Asia and the Middle East.At various times
it has overthrown elected leaders in favour of right-wing
dictators, for both economic and political gain. Examining
America's atomic history, Stone and Kuznick argue that the bombings
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were militarily unnecessary and morally
indefensible. They show how the United States has repeatedly
brandished nuclear threats and come terrifyingly close to nuclear
war.They expose how US presidents have trampled on the US
constitution and international law and lay bare the recent
transformation of United States into a national security state with
the closest links to Russia since the end of the Second World War.
Using the latest research and recently declassified records, The
Untold History builds a meticulously documented and shocking
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.
