**The New York Times bestseller** **Updated to include Obama's second term, Trump's first year and a half, climate change, nuclear winter, Korea, Russia, Iran, China, Libya, ISIS, and Syria** 'This is not history for history's sake , however - this is the history of our present and future , long beyond cold war , into war on terror , war on drugs ' Ed Vulliamy, Guardian The Untold History of the United States is filmmaker Oliver Stone and historian Peter Kuznick's riveting landmark account of the rise and decline of the American empire - the most powerful and dominant nation the world has ever seen. Probing the dark corners of the administrations of eighteen presidents, from Woodrow Wilson to Donald Trump, they dare to ask just how far the US has drifted from its founding democratic ideals. Beginning with the bloody suppression of the Filipino struggle for independence and spanning the two World Wars, it documents how US administrations have repeatedly intervened in conflicts on foreign soil, taking part in covert operations and wars in Latin American, Asia and the Middle East. At various times it has overthrown elected leaders in favour of right-wing dictators, for both economic and political gain. Examining America's atomic history, Stone and Kuznick argue that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were militarily unnecessary and morally indefensible. They show how the United States has repeatedly brandished nuclear threats and come terrifyingly close to nuclear war. They expose how US presidents have trampled on the US constitution and international law and lay bare the recent transformation of United States into a national security state with the closest links to Russia since the end of the Second World War. Using the latest research and recently declassified records, The Untold History builds a meticulously documented and shocking picture of the American empire, showing how it has determined the course of world events for the interests of the few across the twentieth century and beyond.

I am very pleased with this purchase😍
Item Firmness Description: Medium Firm, Item Thickness: 8.0 Inches, Size: Queen (U.S. Standard), Item Firmness Description: Medium Firm, Item Thickness: 8.0 Inches, Size: Queen (U.S. Standard)
I’ve been sleeping on the EGOHOME 8 Inch Memory Foam Mattress in Queen size for a little while now, and I’m honestly very happy with it. The Queen size fits perfectly and gives plenty of space while still feeling super cozy. The mattress has a really comfortable medium-firm feel — supportive but still soft enough to relax into after a long day. I also noticed the cooling gel foam helps prevent overheating at night, which makes sleep much more comfortable. It arrived compressed in a box and expanded quickly without any issues. The quality feels great for the price, and there was very little odor after opening. Overall, this mattress gives great support, relieves pressure nicely, and has definitely improved my sleep quality. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a comfortable Queen mattress!

Great mattress for kids! It expanded quickly, has minimal odor, and provides a comfortable balance of softness and support. The memory foam relieves pressure well, and the cooling gel helps keep it comfortable throughout the night. Excellent quality for the price and a great choice for a child’s bed.

Great Mattress for Everyday Use
Item Firmness Description: Medium Firm, Item Thickness: 6.0 Inches, Size: Twin, Item Firmness Description: Medium Firm, Item Thickness: 6.0 Inches, Size: Twin
I’ve been sleeping on this mattress for a few days now, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with it. It has that wonderfully soft, memory foam feel that I love, but it also provides just the right amount of support to keep my body comfortable all night long. I usually sleep on my side, and sometimes on my back, and I find that it feels great in both positions—no more waking up with a sore back, which is such a relief. What really surprised me is how cool it stays during the night. I’ve used memory foam mattresses before that made me sweat, but this one has a noticeable cooling effect that actually works better than I expected. It stays comfortable all night, no matter how much I toss and turn. Plus, it absorbs movement really well, so if my partner shifts around or I move in my sleep, it doesn’t disturb me at all. Setting it up was super easy—the mattress expanded quickly after I took it out of the box. There was a small foam smell at first, but it vanished pretty fast. Overall, it’s comfortable, supportive, and feels like a great value. If you’re looking for a mattress that strikes a good balance between softness and support, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try.

Comfortable, Supportive, and Sleeps Cool
Item Firmness Description: Medium Firm, Item Thickness: 10.0 Inches, Size: Queen (U.S. Standard)
This queen mattress is very comfortable and offers a great balance of softness and support. It is medium-firm and works well for relieving pressure on the back, shoulders, and hips while still feeling supportive throughout the night. The cooling feature helps keep the mattress comfortable and fresh, especially for warmer sleepers. It arrived neatly packed in a box and expanded quickly after opening with very little odor. I also appreciate that it’s certified, which gives extra peace of mind about the materials. Overall, a high-quality mattress that delivers great comfort and value for the price.
