Auke de Haan: The Hidden History of America, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Hidden History of America brings together well-researched but frequently overlooked episodes from American history, covering events and decisions that rarely appear in standard school curricula. The book examines forgotten treaties with indigenous peoples, the economic forces underlying the Civil War, and the less-publicized dealings behind the country's industrial rise, presenting these as documented historical facts rather than speculation.

Each chapter focuses on a specific episode or period where the popular narrative leaves out significant context or suppresses inconvenient detail. The book draws on historical sources and aims to complement mainstream accounts of American history with perspectives that have received less attention. The tone is measured and factual, suited to readers with an existing interest in American history who want to look beyond the standard version.
