Two and a half centuries. Thirteen colonies to fifty states. From Lexington to the smartphone, from the Declaration to the Dust Bowl, from Appomattox to 9/11—the full story, told in one audiobook.

Everything you were taught about the dawn of mankind is a lie. Why do ancient monuments across the globe share the same "impossible" technology? What if the gods of our ancestors weren't myths, but visitors who left their fingerprints in our DNA? In Forbidden History, Dominic Haynes pulls back the curtain on a suppressed past that mainstream scholars refuse to acknowledge. From the sunken ruins of lost empires to the precision-cut stones of the Andes, this book connects the dots of a global cover-up.

Preface:The stories and reminiscences in this book are true to life, every one of them.

My purpose has been simply to bring out in connection with these great military events, with which they were so intimately connected, a few of the many incidents and heart histories that were crowded into my own life, from April 20, 1861, to Nov. 23, 1865. Camps and hospitals were established near my own home in Keokuk, Iowa, early in April, 1861. I began at once my ...

History of Florence and of the Affairs of Italy is an historical account by Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527). Toward the end of 1520, the Cardinal Giulio of Medici, later Pope Clement VII, offered Machiavelli the appointment to write a history of Florence. Although Machiavelli was reluctant to accept, accepting was at that time his only possible way to regain the good graces of the Medici.
