As the United States reaches its 250th anniversary, the country is about to spend the year retelling the official story for the hundredth time.
But there is more to the story. Behind the Founding Fathers, the Civil War, the Greatest Generation, and the moon landing stand millions of forgotten heroes - soldiers, spies, builders, inventors, mothers, and ordinary citizens - whose hidden stories built the nation alongside the names you were taught.
This is the celebration the country has owed them for 250 years.
Discover American history through the people who actually built it. Ten chapters. Hundreds of stories. From Washington's spies to NASA's mathematicians, from the Black regiment at Yorktown to the engineers who built the internet - the names you weren't taught alongside the ones you were.
Inside this book, you will discover:
All of this and much, much more..
Drawing on declassified archives, presidential papers, military records, and the leading scholarship of the past forty years, this is American history as it was actually lived - by the soldiers, spies, builders, inventors, women, and ordinary citizens who built the country alongside the names you already know.
Scroll up, click "Buy Now," and discover the America that 99% of the people who built it actually built.
