History is filled with problems and flaws. It has not always been a steady progress where humanity improves itself to a better state as time goes on. There are setbacks or underlying problems to the historical narrative that people normally learn. There are also underlying narratives that show problems with history and current events as opposed to how it has been taught or what people know about history and current events. The book is divided into three sections. The first Section deals with the historical periods from the Roman Empire to the present discussing the problems with the various historical periods in each chapter. The second section tackles the problems with the American historical narrative during the Trump administration and how all the social problems in American society surfaced during his presidency. This section also talks about how Trump has disrupted the office of the American presidency and how an American president is expected to behave bringing to life problems in American foreign and domestic policies. The third section talks about other societal and historical narratives and their problems such as the Chinese or Japanese narratives as well as the Nazi narrative and Napoleonic narrative and the narratives of colonized people outside the dominant Western paradigm. The book concludes that history and current events are not always what they seem as there are always problems and setbacks with history and current events compared to how they are taught or marketed to the public.
