Anonim a dat nota:

THE UNTOLD HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES este o lucrare istorica de o importanta extraordinara, atat pentru americani cat si pentru restul lumii. In general, atat istoria oficiala cat si cea neoficiala constituie emanatia unor grupuri de interese aflate la putere sau intr-un proces de acaparare sau vanare a puterii. "Istoria este un set de minciuni asupra carora s-a cazut de acord" - ar fi spus Napoleon Bonaparte. In orice caz, drumul spre adevarul istoric este extrem de anevoios. Nu urmaresc sa conving pe nimeni ca Oliver Sone si Peter Kuznik au aflat cu siguranta adevarul. Dar este foarte incurajatoare constatarea ca ei se refera tot timpul la FAPTE, la documente oficiale, la documente initial secrete iar in prezent declasificate, la inregistrari audio si video cu declaratii ale unor personalitati etc. Eu cred ca Oliver Stone si Peter Kusnick au dat dovada de un curaj extraordinar publicand aceasta lucrare. Dar si cititorul trebuie sa aiba curajul si vointa de a patrunde dincolo de aparente si de versiunile oficiale ale istoriei. Aceasta este o lucrare pentru cei binecuvantati cu darul de a-si folosi puterea mintii pentru a afla pe ce lume traim si de ce ni se intampla ceea ce ni se intampla.
