New books dissecting US myths published

How did the United States become what it is today, with its "law-of-the-jungle" foreign policy creating chaos worldwide and politicians jockeying for power and profit in disregard of the welfare of the American people. Three recently published books can provide a compelling and multifaceted examination.

"Built on Lies" and "America Unveiled: Reassessing History and Influence," both released by Xinhua Publishing House, have recently hit shelves nationwide. Together with "America Unmasked," which debuted last year, they are also slated for digital release.

The book "Built on Lies" delves into the construction of Washington's false narratives, drawing on detailed case studies to unpack the systems and strategies behind their creation and spread. The book examines how the United States has long polished its global image through information warfare and cognitive manipulation, using these tools to maintain its dominance and sow instability abroad. The work serves as a cautionary examination of the dangers of uncritically accepting Washington's version of events.

The book "America Unveiled" reexamines U.S. history from a non-Western perspective, shedding light on facts often selectively ignored, deliberately concealed, or distorted in mainstream American discourse. The book confronts issues such as identity crises, racism and the dysfunctions of American democracy, offering a comprehensive portrait of the country's realities.

The book "America Unmasked" takes a critical look at the United States through four key lenses -- its institutions, hegemony, rhetoric and external critiques. The book examines how the United States leverages its economic, military and cultural power to maintain global dominance, extract benefits and export its values. In doing so, it aims to dismantle the self-proclaimed image of the United States as a champion of freedom, democracy and human rights.

The authors, all seasoned researchers of U.S. affairs, have grounded their analyses in a wealth of factual evidence. Through their work, they aim to help readers understand the complexities and contradictions of U.S. society and its foreign policy.
