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.

ECM or LevFin?

Niall Ferguson's the Ascent of Money. Surprised no one's suggested this already.
