- Summary:
- This text is a collection of transcribed talks between Tariq Ali and Oliver Stone in preparation for Stone's epic TV documentary project, The Untold History of the United States and his feature-length film on South American politics, South of the Border. The Untold History sets out to describe how the United States became an empire and in the text this evidently begins with the US intervention in the Russian Revolution. They go over the post-WWII global order, the US's relationship to the Soviet Union and its satellites, the collapse of the Soviet Union and so-called Pax Americana, and the blowback of American foreign policy in the post-9/11 world. They also consider the possibility of popular uprisings in the age of America's wane. Tariq Ali is a Pakistani writer on history and politics, as well as a filmmaker. Oliver Stone is an American political and historical filmmaker. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
