The Hidden History of America

AMERICA TEACHES ITS OWN HISTORY BETTER THAN MOST COUNTRIES. The problem is what gets left out.This book covers the parts of American history that do not make it into the standard account: the broken promises to Native nations violated within years of signing, the political decisions that prolonged slavery rather than ending it, the civil rights betrayals that came from within the movement's supposed allies, and the foreign interventions sold as liberation that served other interests.None of this is fringe history. It's documented, sourced, and acknowledged by mainstream historians in academic journals most people never read.What this book does is put it in one place, written plainly, without the softening language that usually surrounds these subjects when they do appear.If you think you know American history, some of what's here will surprise you. If you've always suspected the official account had gaps, this book will fill several of them.
