The Unpatriotic Truth by A.M. Ber
The Unpatriotic Truth examines U.S. history, beyond patriotic mythology, exposing how selective storytelling, Nationalism, and propaganda shape public understanding of the past. Written in clear, direct language, the book challenges readers to confront uncomfortable historical realities and consider how those distortions continue to influence modern politics, identity, and civic life.
The Heretical Truth by A.M. Ber
The Heretical Truth examines how Christianity was transformed from a radical movement rooted in justice and liberation into a powerful institutional system aligned with empire, wealth, and political control. Drawing on historical records and suppressed voices, the book explores how dissent was silenced, women were erased from leadership, and religious authority was reshaped to serve power rather than justice or truth.
Don't Tell Me it Wasn't About Slavery
by A.M. Ber
Don't Tell Me it Wasn't About Slavery confronts the persistent myths surrounding the American Civil War and exposes how historical denial has been used to excuse slavery, sanitize violence, and distort public memory. Drawing on primary sources, secession documents, and historical records, the book demonstrates that slavery was not a side issue, but the central cause of the war.
This book also examines how "Lost Cause" mythology was deliberately constructed and how its legacy continues to shape education, politics, and cultural narratives today, making historical truth a matter of ongoing civic importance.
Yes, it was about slavery. It was ALL about slavery.
And I can prove it.

Chances are,
Your Neighbors Aren't Evil
by A.M. Ber
Chances Are, Your Neighbors Aren't Evil explores how fear based narratives, political polarization, and disinformation encourage people to see each other as enemies rather than neighbors. This book examines how propaganda and algorithm driven media amplify division, distort perception, and make ordinary people seem dangerous or irredeemable.
Focusing on empathy, without denial of harm, this book challenges readers to separate systems of power from individual humanity. and to recognize how manipulation thrives when communities are fractured. It offers a framework for resisting dehumanization and building trust in a society currently shaped by outrage and mistrust.
