I thoroughly enjoyed this 2012 docu-series. It's a twelve-episode unapologetic People's History of the United States-like take on America's emergence as a global superpower during and after World War II from Oliver Stone, who, yes, okay, sure, go ahead and fact-check absolutely everything you're told here if you need to, he probably deserves it.
The purpose of the series is to provide alternative facts - no, not lies, literally and actually the information you don't get from high school or the news media or Hollywood war movies - to really help flesh out contemporary American history. And fam, it's some ugly shit! Which is the point. But still!
Also, holy hell, I'd love to see Stone make an epilogue chapter about the events covering, oh, 2012 to the present day.
Strongly recommend.
