An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States

Story
Unflinchingly honest about the brutality of this nation’s founding and its legacy of settler-colonialism and genocide, the impact of Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz’s 2014 book is profound. This classic is revisited with new material that takes an incisive look at the post-Obama era from the war in Afghanistan to Charlottesville’s white supremacy-fueled rallies, and from the onset of the pandemic to the election of President Biden.

Story
The murder of brutal landowner Fyodor Karamazov changes the lives of his sons irrevocably: Mitya, the sensualist, whose bitter rivalry with his father immediately places him under suspicion for parricide; Ivan, the intellectual, driven to breakdown; the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family's rifts; and the shadowy figure of their bastard half-brother, Smerdyakov. Dostoyevsky's dark masterwork evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur and everyone's faith in humanity is tested.

Story
The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the most spellbinding tales ever written. It tells of a good man, Edmond Dantes, whose jealous enemies conspire to destroy him; how an unexpected friend gives him the tools to survive; how he escapes from an island fortress; how the discovery of a vast treasure transforms him into a super-wealthy nobleman determined to carry out his revenge; and the surprising lessons in loyalty and love that he learns on his way.

Story
Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

A harrowing tale!
A book that is very difficult to get through such is the nature of the atrocities written about in these pages. A book that should be read by everyone!

A Must Listen!
A true, terrible, shameful, sad insight into the tearing down of a peaceful proud culture. This account is also indicative of the treatment of all peaceful indigenous peoples exposed to 'civilized' western white people, and the destruction of cultures and ways of life globally.

A must for your library
Brings a deeper and thorough understanding of what transpired not that long ago. A common theme, through our eyes now, of how terribly Indians were treated, in their then, of what was perfectly acceptable.
Marvellously narrated and expertly written.

A Must Read
Simply a Must-Read.Take time to understand the documented mis-treatment of the Indigenous People of the Americas, a race whose contribution to our modern world is grossly misunderstood. What a profound almost tragic pleasure to listen to the accounts of American Indians attempting to negotiate with profoundly manipulative and self-interested colonial war-mongers and their ultimate reduction to prisoners in their own land ... A timely warning in these pandemic times - where the tipping point between mandated safety and innate freedom is constantly blurred. Listen to the words from an ancient race who valued the human spirit and its essential Freedom.

a very important book, should be studied by all
Absolutely heartbreaking book and should be studied by everyone. incredibly well written and a very powerful story. it's a great account of history and I think it's as important then the great books like The Rape of Nanking & Gulag Archipelago. These stories and it's people should never be forgotten.

Man's inhumanity to his fellow man
Listening to this book made me feel ashamed of the fact I am white. However, I excuse myself, as I spent 3 years in the north of Australia and virtually ally my friends were non-white. I do not hold any prejudices and I wish with all my heart that all human kind would feel the same.
