Sinossi
Questa non è storia per la storia, tuttavia: questa è la storia del nostro presente e futuro, ben oltre la guerra fredda, nella guerra al terrore, nella guerra alla droga' ed vulliamy, guardian the untold history of the united states è l'avvincente resoconto storico del regista oliver stone e dello storico peter kuznick sull'ascesa e il declino dell'impero americano, la nazione più potente e dominante che il mondo abbia mai visto. Esplorando gli angoli oscuri delle amministrazioni di 17 presidenti, da woodrow wilson a barack obama, osano chiedersi quanto gli stati uniti si siano allontanati dai loro ideali democratici fondanti. A partire dalla sanguinosa repressione della lotta filippina per l'indipendenza e abbracciando le due guerre mondiali, documenta come le amministrazioni statunitensi siano ripetutamente intervenute in conflitti su suolo straniero, prendendo parte a operazioni segrete e guerre in america latina, asia e medio oriente. In vari momenti ha rovesciato leader eletti a favore di dittatori di destra, sia per guadagno economico che politico. Esaminando la storia atomica americana, stone e kuznick sostengono che i bombardamenti di hiroshima e nagasaki erano militarmente inutili e moralmente indifendibili. Mostrano come gli stati uniti abbiano ripetutamente brandito minacce nucleari e siano arrivati spaventosamente vicini alla guerra. Espongono come i presidenti degli stati uniti abbiano calpestato la costituzione statunitense e il diritto internazionale e mettono a nudo la recente trasformazione degli stati uniti in uno stato di sicurezza nazionale. Utilizzando le ultime ricerche e i documenti recentemente declassificati, the untold history costruisce un quadro meticolosamente documentato e scioccante dell'impero americano, mostrando come abbia determinato il corso degli eventi mondiali per gli interessi di pochi nel ventesimo secolo e oltre.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. '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, Guardian The Untold History of the United States is filmmaker Oliver Stone and historian Peter Kuznicks 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 17 presidents, from Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama, 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 Americas 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 war. They expose how US presidents have trampled on the US constitution and international law and lay bare the recent transformation of the United States into a national security state. 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR004871028
