There is history as we know it. And there is history we should have known. Complete with poignant photos and little-known but vitally important stories, this second of four volumes traces how people around the world responded to the United States's rise as a superpower from the end of World War II through an increasingly tense Cold War and, eventually, to the brink of nuclear annihilation during the Cuban Missile Crisis. This is not the kind of history taught in schools or normally presented on television or in popular movies. This riveting young readers volume challenges prevailing orthodoxies to reveal uncomfortable realities about the US role in heightening Cold War tensions. It also humanizes the experiences of diverse people, at home and abroad, who yearned for a more just, equal, and compassionate world. This volume will come as a breath of fresh air for students, teachers, and budding young historians hungry for different perspectives--which makes it a crucial counterpoint to today's history textbooks. Adapted by high school and university educator Eric S. Singer from the bestselling book and companion to the documentary The Untold History of the United States by Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone and renowned historian Peter Kuznick, this volume gives young readers a powerful and provocative look at the US role in the Cold War. It also provides a blueprint for those concerned with shaping a better and more equitable future for people across the world. 505 00 $t Index $t World War I -- $t The new deal -- $t World War II -- $t The bomb -- $t The cold war -- $t Eisenhower -- $t JFK -- $t LBJ -- $t Nixon and Kissinger -- $t Collapse of detente -- $t The Reagan years -- $t The cold war ends -- $t The Bush-Cheney debacle -- $t Obama -- $t How the unthinkable became thinkable again -- $t Acknowledgements -- $t Notes -- $t Photo credits -- $t Index 650 0 $a Government information $z United States $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2001-2009. 700 1 $a Kuznick, Peter J., $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907011428.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=576B781E875711E9A56C064497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
