Crucial resource to understanding the history and current state of the United States.
Haunting, rage inducing, and fundamentally changed my perception of the world I live in.

This is history of the United States. So much makes sense and fits right in with what we are taught in school, except it frames it from he losing side. It’s known hat the US colonized and stole land, but the biggest perspective I found is how much propaganda was in our history books, some out and out lies. The most interesting thing I found though wasn’t just learning about the history, it was how it was framed toward today. It put so much of recent history and attitudes,as well as current events in to perspective. It’s so pervasive in our history and government to think we are “the chosen”. It’s not just the “better then”, it’s the attitude that we “know better”.
I listened to the audiobook, I don’t think I could have read it and stayed with it, which is why it’s not a 5. It’s heavy, long and intense. Listening made it a little easier to digest. There is no actual gore described, but 50% of the book talks about war and killing.

reading books like this one... that are factual and deadly serious about the horrific level of brutality america is founded on are imperative to deconstructing the propaganda we're fed through public schools and popular media.
definitely a primer, but there's an amazing suggested reading list at the end of the book.
