keelhaul-80856 This is a very interesting documentary that focuses on little- acknowledged facts that may very well change the views of average Americans, if their teachers or the media ever bothered to delve into it. I always enjoy any piece like this that sheds new light on subjects of history, religion, or politics. The only reason I don't rate it as a 7 or 8 is simply because of my own in-depth studies of history and my knowledge of Oliver Stone's other works. While he provides a great deal of lesser-known facts regarding FDR's administration, the world wars, etc. he still seems to leave viewers with the impression that the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and other areas under communist regimes were actually just nice guys with no real axe to grind. In leaving out the other hidden histories of what truly happened in many of these nations, leading up to the points where they intersect with US affairs, I feel it leaves the wrong impression that the US is solely to blame for multi-faceted problems and doesn't address the hidden hands of bankers and secret societies and communists who brought on many issues and atrocities. Similar to his treatment of the JFK saga, Stone gets some of it right, and does a good job of at least raising good questions and shedding light on obscure facts, but doesn't quite hone in on the full picture. Still, worth a watch, but I would suggest a much deeper study of the wars, ideologies, and other agendas at play.

Adam Johnson I watched it knowing it would not be a pro-America take on world events. I am interested in raw truth, even if it offends or challenges my world view. However, this is nothing more than typical anti-American propaganda aimed at dissuading traditionally conservative opinions.There are obviously many opportunities to question the historical international policies of America. Probably beginning with our triumph in World World Two, America and its interests have, at times, been at odds with various parts of the world. I have no problem with reviewing these times through the lens of would be adversaries. Stone goes beyond an attempt at raw truth and wavers into the land of propaganda. It is ironic that he praises dictators, especially Russian communist leaders, while at the same time attacks traditionally conservative ideas of smaller government. Every widespread case of oppression and genocide has been conducted by Governments, so I am at a loss as to why he or anyone else on the side of peace isn't fighting for less Government, less oversight, and more privatization.I was initially excited to watch each episode - but in the end I was disappointed to see an opportunity lost to politics and propaganda.

Xillx The Untold History of the United States by Oliver Stone is in the most part a condensed analysis of the causes and consequences of the long-term American imperialism plan following WW2.It briefly covers the atrocities of the other imperialist nations and sets the context for explaining the pivotal moment in history that lead America to present itself as the "police of the world".It is a must see, it is very well structured and narrated.The most shocking aspect of American history is the lack of empathy by the American power structure in regards to the millions of death they've caused in other nations since WW2, as well as an apparent lack of justice for American war criminals.Hitler and Stalin were worse by a huge margin undoubtedly, but this doesn't justify the unjustifiable like Vietnam, Iraq, support of puppet dictators, overthrowing democratically elected governments, arming fanatics, betraying the Geneva convention, lying to the UN, drone bombings of civilians, etc.It seems that after launching the first atomic bombs the United States of America have been governed by less than brilliant megalomaniacs. Even the wisest and most humanist presidents had little power to stop a long-term military plan for world control.

derek_theplumber Inaccurate,full of itself bulls**t. I have never seen such inaccuracies in a documentary before in my life short of Micheal Moore film. I mean this thing was a joke. It mostly focuses on WW2 in the beginning (I couldn't stomach more than 3 episodes) where they portrayed the US and UK involvement as a afterthought, and Russia saved the world from the slimy Nazis all by themselves. Where America was just bombing the Japanese for sh*ts and giggles while they desperately tried to surrender to us. And we just dropped a nuke on them because apparently for no other reason than we could. Never mind the fact we dropped leaflets on the cities weeks prior telling the citizens to vacate the city because this was coming. They didn't bother bringing that up or many many other things. They portrayed Truman as a war mongering idiot who wasn't supposed to be in office in the first place because a left wing liberal was shafted out of it.(Wallace) Sound familiar? (Clinton) All in all this is Liberal trash, trying to trash a great generation of people that made this country great.
