[applause] , a greate years ago american in whose shadow we stand today signed the emancipation proclamation. As amomentous decree came beacon light of hope for many searedlaves who had been in the flames of withering injustice. It came as joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. Later, the negro still is not free. Life of theter, the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. Is onars later, the negro the island of poverty, in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. 100 years later [applause] still languished in American Society and finds himself in exile in his own land.

I think there is a disconnect between what has officially happened and what is reported. Actually happened and what is officially reported. This is a great, great story. That was the trailer. For the untold history of the United States. It is also available on demand. Oliver stone joins us here in new york and his coauthor also joins us. We welcome you both to democracy now you have been working on this for years, unbeknownst to many people. Why . It is pretty epic. From the 1940 4. 5 years off and on. I did do three feature films and two documentaries during that period. We started in 2008. Discussed in 1997. We talked about making a documentary of about one hour or one hour and a half. He is an expert on weaponry and the atomic on. He founded the department of nuclear studies. They areo the link still learning this myth that we learned that we dropped the bomb because we had to. That we would have lost Many American mice taking japan. There is no alternative to that story. Process ofnning the saying, the bomb did not have to be dropped. Strategically it made no sense. Why . Because the japanese were already defeated. They were looking for a way out of the war. The United States knew they were defeated. Telegram fromed a the japanese emperor asking for peace. Everybody knew they were militarily defeated. Trying to get the russians to intervene on their behalf. They wanted better terms. They wanted to welcome an american invasion, inflict heavy betteries, and then get terms of surrender. We had already been bombing japanese cities. We firebombed over 100 cities. From the japanese standpoint, whether it was 200 planes with 1000 bombs or one plane and one bomb, it did not change the equation. Changed thenvasion equation. A huge army to the east from the german frontier. They wiped out the army in about two days or oneday. , ifou let one month go by we really are interested in ending this war and using russian troops, we can do it. Theets get a clip from series. This challenges the prevailing logic on world war ii. Generations of americans have been taught that the United States reluctantly dropped atomic bombs at the end of world war ii to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of young men poised to die in an invasion of japan. Moretory is really complicated, more interesting, and much more disturbing. Many americans few world war ii nostalgically as the good war in which the United States and its allies triumphed over german not see is him, tell you in fascism, and japanese militarism. Others, not so blessed. They remember it is the bloodiest war in human history. By the time it was over, 60 Million People lay dead, including an estimated 27 million soviets. Between 10 and 20 million chinese. 6 million jews. 6 million germans. 3 million nonjewish poles. 2. 5 million japanese. 1. 5 million yugoslavs. Oliver stone, the good war and the war with the most carnage in the history of the world. It is a huge story. We deal with the rivalry. The British Empire is the dominant empire. Churchill is fighting, among other things, for the retention of the colonies. Very important. And north africa, egypt, suez, india. He never starts a second front for about two years. Stalin is rolling the germans back and winning the war as the americans and british are preferably pecking in retaining the british colonies. The british went into africa after they liberated it and end up fighting street battles with the communist resistance fighters who fought later on. Wasut in a greek who working with the nazis. I
