The Untold History of the United States, Volume 2: Young

The Untold History of the United States, Volume 2: Young Readers Edition, 1945-1962

Discover Americaâ€™s secrets in this second of four volumes of the young readersâ€™ edition of The Untold History of the United States, from Academy Awardâ€“winning director Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick, adapted by Susan Campbell Bartoletti.

There is history as we know it. And there is history we should have known.

Complete with poignant photos, arresting illustrations, and little-known documents, this second of four volumes takes us from the end of World War II, into the beginning of the Cold War, and to the assassination of JFK.

This is not the kind of history taught in schools or normally presented on television or in popular movies. This riveting young readersâ€™ edition challenges prevailing orthodoxies to reveal the dark reality about the rise and fall of the American empire for curious, budding historians who are hungry for the truth. Based on the latest archival findings and recently declassified information, this book will come as a surprise to the vast majority of students and their teachersâ€”and thatâ€™s precisely why this edition is such a crucial counterpoint to todayâ€™s history textbooks.

Adapted by Newbery Honor recipient Susan Campbell Bartoletti from the bestselling book and companion to the documentary The Untold History of the United States by Academy Awardâ€“winning director Oliver Stone and renowned historian Peter Kuznick, this volume presents young readers with a powerful and provocative look at the past century of American imperialism.
