A searing and deeply researched political and historical critique, Built on Lies by Arthur B. Ripley confronts the systemic racism, political corruption, and institutional hypocrisy underpinning American history. Through an unflinching lens, the book examines the roots of slavery, the manipulation of religion, and the legacy of deception that continues to shape national identity and governance. Ripley calls readers to action, advocating for truth, justice, and a reformed democracy built on accountability and equity.
