Unexpressable history of the United States. Stone O., Kuznik P.

For many years, the United States has been considered the most powerful and influential power in the entire world history. Participation in the Second World War, the invention of the atomic bomb, industrial successes, the creation of the Internet - the idea of ​​American exclusivity is rooted in the past. The XX century truly became the "century of America." However, any history of rise is impossible without crushing falls.

The book is based on the cult documentary series director Oliver Stone and historian Peter Kuznik. The authors debunk idealized ideas about the United States and shed light on mistakes made by American figures. According to archival materials and declassified materials, Stone and Kuznik carefully restore the history of the United States in the 20th - early 21sts of the First World War to the policy of President Obama and the imperial status of the country.

Who actually became the winner in the Second World War? What consequences did the Manhattan project and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had? Could humanity avoid the Cold War? What caused the attack on September 11? And most importantly: is it too late for the United States to draw conclusions from the gloomy events of its past, which only at first glance seems brilliant?
