Oliver Stone's "Untold History of the United States" -- Reviews and Discussion

[Tracy Riddle]

I'm almost done reading the book. I'd give it a 7.5 on a 10 scale. There's a lot of good information here - I would definitely recommend it to someone just beginning to learn about these events - but it's incomplete in some areas. No mention of the U2 crisis of 1960, which was a pretty major event. They accept the official story about Forrestal's death. No mention of the USS Liberty attack. Overall it just dips its toe into the waters of Deep Politics. But come to think of it, so did Howard Zinn's "People's History."
