I would start by reading a U.S. history book written before 1945. Authors were pretty open and honest about the reality of how this country was founded and run (and how the world works), without the political correctness censure.

 

Personal favorites as of late have been by Daniel Lord Smail (neuroscience x history), David Blight (especially his Pulitzer winning biography of Frederick Douglass), Tim Snyder (THE guy out there for Eastern European history, really good reads in current context)

 

I'm in the middle of "A People's History of the United States" (1492-Present) by Howard Zinn which has been pretty good

  • A Short History of Russia: How to Understand the World’s Most Complex Nation
  • Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World
