OM BOKEN:

The companion to the Showtime documentary series, director Oliver Stone and historian Peter Kuznick challenge the prevailing orthodoxies of traditional history books in this thoroughly researched and rigorously analyzed look at the dark side of American history.

“At last the world knows America as the savior of the world!”—

The authors questions Woodrow Wilson´s “At last the world knows America as the savior of the world!” and claims that :

· The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were militarily unnecessary and morally indefensible.

· The United States, not the Soviet Union, bore the lion’s share of responsibility for perpetuating the Cold War.

· The U.S. love affair with right-wing dictators has gone as far as overthrowing elected leaders, arming and training murderous military officers, and forcing millions of people into poverty.

· U.S.-funded Islamist fundamentalists, who fought against the Soviets in Afghanistan, have blown back to threaten the interests of the U.S. and its allies.

· U.S. presidents, especially in wartime, have frequently trampled on the constitution and international law.

· The United States has brandished nuclear threats repeatedly and come terrifyingly close to nuclear war.
