520 In this companion to the ten-part documentary series the
authors outline a "people's history" of the American
empire and its rise and decline, aided by the latest
archival findings and recently declassified documents and
scholarly research. They challenge the prevailing
orthodoxies of traditional history books in this look at
the dark side of American history. They introduce readers
to a pantheon of heroes and villains as they show not only
how far the U.S. has drifted from its democratic
traditions but the powerful forces that have struggle to
get us back on track. They argue that the U.S. must face
its troubling history honestly and forthrightly in order
to set a new course for the future, and pose the question:
Is it too late for America to change?
