The Truth Behind the Stories They Don't Want You to Know

America's Secret History presents an undistorted picture of the history of the United States beginning from the enactment of the Constitution. Never in one volume have so many unknown facts that disprove America's history books been brought together in a cohesive historical context, all based on verifiable information.

Among dozens of revelations, America's Secret History ties together a wealth of historical facts from highly credible sources to create a cohesive narrative of uncharted American history that leads us to the presidency of Donald J. Trump. Consider:

  • Utilising the House of Representative's little-known 1953 Reece Committee revelations, the Carnegie, Rockefeller, Guggenheim, and Ford foundations have systematically controlled education and the high-level appointees to the US State Department for the last century with the full knowledge and approval of the United States government.
  • Conclusive proof that Abraham Lincoln's assassination was actually an attempted coup d'etat, and President Garfield's assassination was the first successful coup. JFK's and the combined assassinations of RFK and MLKβ€”just two months apartβ€”were the third successful coup d'etat. All were Deep State initiatives to mould the government into its intended purposes.
  • In 1971, Americans woke up to what the New York Times called "Nixon Shock," which completely eliminated the gold standard from American currency. Removing gold backing from America's money, combined with the soon-to-come rise of globalism, led directly to what the Oxfam charity organisation recently announced: 26 people now own the same wealth as the poorest 50 percent of the world (almost four billion people).

Not another conspiracy theory book, America's Secret History reveals many more hidden truths and the undisclosed context that drove them, weaving all of them together to explain just how we find ourselves in Donald Trump's America.

About the Author

Steve Harris is a book publishing veteran of several decades with Warner Books, New American Library, and Penguin, including the last fifteen as a literary agent. He began researching the Iraq and Afghanistan wars soon after losing a friend in the Twin Towers. One startling fact after another was uncovered and verified, until the country's weird history revealed itself mired in myths, deceptions, and conspiracies.
