This volume includes 33 essays on a vast array of historical topics. Many of the issues are controversial and are rarely covered in mainstream discourse. In one set of essays, the historical truth about Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin of President Kennedy, will be disclosed after sixty years of silence on the part of the historians. In another essay, the facts about JFK’s Vietnam policy will be assessed in his own words, demonstrating that he had a disengagement plan in place prior to his assassination. In several essays, the birth of propaganda in America will be discussed. Other essays will probe these questions: What was the controversy that served as a catalyst for the formation of the American political parties? What do Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Putin share in common? Several essays address Nazi Germany and Hitler’s improbable rise to power. A little known story is how the love of mountains brought together Hitler and the filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl. The book is intended for lovers of history and for those who want to engage in the study of controversial topics.
