Auke de Haan: Scary American History Facts, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

American history contains episodes that most textbooks cover briefly if at all: massacres, medical experiments on unwitting citizens, government-sanctioned atrocities, and chapters of institutional violence that sit uneasily alongside the official national narrative. This book presents documented historical facts about the darker episodes in American history, sourced from historical records, congressional investigations, and academic scholarship.

From the treatment of Native Americans and the history of slavery to Cold War-era government programs and twentieth-century racial violence, the facts collected here are accurate and significant. The book is written for readers who believe an honest reckoning with history requires facing all of it, not just the parts that have been rehabilitated or celebrated. It is factual and measured in tone, not polemical.
