And, in addition to these two books, you can now choose from hundreds of informative books, articles, videos, and other sources of information, including some that I have written. A lot of writings and authors can help you understand what you must understand if you want to know your country's past and the part that it has played, and is still (often insanely) playing in world, national, and local affairs. Our country's past is our past. The parts it has played are parts we all have played. We are our country.
Some of what you read might make you angry--maybe even angry with me for bringing all this up. I don't know. But whatever you experience, I hope that you will have the courage to seek the truth wherever it might take you. If you do what I suggest with integrity, it will probably be the most difficult thing you have ever done. It was and still is for me. Share what you learn with others, so that others might be freed of disillusionment and misunderstanding.
In the end, I suggest that you will also have to face this challenge: to not only forgive yourself and others for what you or they once did or did not do or did not understand, but to take responsibility for your own humanity by being appropriate to what you now know and to the person you have become.
I wish for you peace and happiness...truth, honor and dignity, compassion, courage and love.
