History
Frontier legends, gangsters, the ancient world and the American presidency: each book takes the popular version of a story and tests it against the record. You come away knowing which parts hold up, and why.
Presidents Reconsidered
Nine presidents from Truman to Trump, each tested against the record, not the popular verdict. Read them in order of office and watch the modern presidency take shape.
American Legends
Benjamin Franklin, J. Edgar Hoover, the Wild West, the Mafia, Prohibition, Area 51, 9/11 and the serial killer: the legends Americans repeat, checked against the record, so you know which parts are history and which are folklore.
America Debated
Race and the Klan, guns, America's wars, poverty and the Constitution. Each book takes a clear position on a question Americans still argue about, and shows the evidence behind it.
World History
Rome's arena and empire, the Caribbean's buccaneers, ancient Mesoamerica, Europe's witch trials, Franco's Spain, the Cold War, Pinochet's Chile and Daniel Ortega's Nicaragua: the popular story of each, tested against what the sources show.
Decisions Under Pressure
Kennedy and Cuba, Johnson and Vietnam, the years after 9/11, rival intelligence agencies and soldiers in Iraq: what the people deciding knew, what they didn't, and how they chose.
What Happened in the Cockpit
Flight recorders, near misses, test flights, bad weather and crashes: how investigators reconstruct what happened, where the evidence ends, and the chain of decisions behind each outcome.
Lives, Beginning to End
Four lives told in order, from Steve Jobs and Beethoven to Ernest Shackleton and Josef Mengele: what each did, when, and what the record shows.
Crisis Negotiation
Inside the crisis negotiation team: the roles behind the negotiator, where training meets the street, and the everyday phrases that make a conflict worse. You finish knowing who is in the room, where training falls short, and which phrases to drop.
Medicine and the Evidence
Louis Pasteur's notebooks, the Blue Zones longevity story, and the promises of gene editing, regenerative medicine and AI: what the evidence supports, so you can tell the claim from the proof.
