Learn about all the secrets our government has kept for the past fifty years.

The US government has spent half the time covering up conspiracies as it has spent helping the American people. In Hidden History, you will see the amount of effort over the past fifty years that our government has dedicated to lying and covering up the truth to the world.

Starting with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Don Jeffries chronicles a wide variety of issues that have plagued our country’s history. Whether it’s the assassinations of MLK and RFK, Iran-Contra, the Oklahoma City bombing, TWA Flight 800, voting fraud, or 9/11, every major disaster or war that we’ve witnessed has somehow been distorted by those who are supposed to be protecting us.

Jeffries also delves into extensive research on the death of John F. Kennedy Jr., and you’ll be shocked by what he finds out.

So whether you’ve only heard bits and pieces of these stories or have read several books on the topics, Hidden History is the book that belongs in every conspiracy theorist’s library, as the information included in this encyclopedia has never been collected together in any other published work available. So sit down, strap in, and get ready to be shocked and awed by how much has been hidden from you by our government over the past fifty years.

Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Review


It's paradigm shifting. Everything you think you know about the U.S. is mostly propaganda, lies, and deceit. From who killed President Kennedy to who killed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Kennedy's brother, Bobby, as he was on his way to the White House. This book is a must-read because. Donald Jeffries pulls the curtain down on fifty years of massive corruption, exposing both the lies of the Left and the Right. It's time to learn the truth. Hidden History is a vitally important book that every American and everyone who believes in America should read.

- Dr. Cynthia McKinney, former United States Congressional representative from Georgia and Green Party presidential candidate.

In Hidden History, Donald Jeffries has assembled an encyclopedia of misrepresented and under-reported historical events. This book is unique in its even-handed approach, and it is difficult to disagree that the entrenched corruption he exposes extends across the entire political spectrum.

- Cindy Sheehan, Peace Activist and Author

Facts are simply just the truth. Information that often just lies there. But when presented in an arresting, revealing, brilliant storytelling manner they can inspire one to action and change. If, to paraphrase Jack Nicholson in 'A Few Good Men,' you can handle the truth, no matter how uncomfortable and contrary to popular acceptance, then you must get Donald Jeffries' 'Hidden History.' As one who has spent over forty years trying to tell DA Jim Garrison's real story about his Government and media sabotaged investigation into President Kennedy's murder, even I learned and was moved by what Donald uncovered. From JFK's murder to Martin Luther King to Oklahoma to flight 800 to 9/11 and countless others, you know the litany; but you don't know what Donald Jeffries knows until you get 'Hidden History,' every page a virtual wikipedia of needed truths!

- John Barbour: Writer-Director of 'The Garrison Tapes.' Host-Producer: 'The Last word On The Assassination.' Creator-Co-Host of 'Real People,' America's first tv reality show. Host: 'John Barbour's World,' BBS Radio

Henry Ford is widely quoted as saying, "History is bunk." What he actually said was ""History is more or less bunk." Donald Jeffries has elaborated on this theme in his new book by showing that behind what is commonly perceived these days as history is the real truth, or "Hidden History." In an age when deception is the norm, Jeffries' invaluable book tells it like it is.

- Douglas Caddy, Watergate Attorney and Author

Don Jeffries dares to tell the truth and names individuals and groups behind the major assassinations and false flag attacks meant to destroy the pillars of our constitutional republic. Prepare to take the red pill.

Rob Dew, TV News Director, Infowars.com, PrisonPlanet.tv


With “Hidden History,” Donald Jeffries has written a compelling, well documented book raising disturbing questions challenging the politically correct explanation of modern crimes, conspiracies, and cover-ups in U.S. history, including, among others, the JFK assassination, Ted Kennedy and Chappaquiddick, the deaths of Vince Foster and Ron Brown in the Clinton presidency, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. A “must-read” for all those wanting to get past “conspiracy theory” to the inconvenient facts political correctness is designed to keep the American public from knowing.
- Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D.

Hidden History by Donald Jeffries is a book of historic importance because it documents our true contemporary American history. It is informative, fascinating, and entertaining at the same time- written in a professional, but also very accessible manner. A compelling, well-documented book raising disturbing questions.

David Wayne, Author of New York Times bestsellers Dead Wrong, Hit List and They Killed Our President

AWESOME Read ! ! !
After hearing the entire talk show interview, I KNEW I had to buy his book, so l downloaded the Kindle version. "Hidden History" is sooooo captivating, not only because it is powerfully interesting, but more importantly because he uncovers every stone in search of Truth. I only wish that America had more people like Donald Jeffries, willing to do the research and then take the path less travelled by sharing their findings. PEOPLE....you NEED to get his book, either hard copy or Kindle. Although supporting what he is doing for America should be the motivator, I can assure you that you will also benefit personally from reading it. Why search through hundreds of hours of "hit and miss" resources by other writers when you can have everything in an orderly and well presented package? It's a small price to pay for such a wealth of information in one place. I intend to get the hard copy as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars “[T]here are forces and events too big, too powerful, . . . [to] do anything about . . .”
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2019

I was motivated to read “Hidden History” after I read Don Jeffries latest book “Crimes and Coverups in American Politics - 1776 – 1963.” “Hidden History” rolls out rapidly and covers a vast amount of ground in just a few sentences and paragraphs. The book is a jarring exposé of real-life historic events which are decidedly disturbing. I have personal knowledge of a number of the events that the book describes and have known personally a number of the people involved. Jeffries quotes former CIA Director William Colby as telling author John DeCamp, of the book “Franklin Coverup” “ . . .sometimes there are forces and events too big, too powerful, with so much at stake for other people or institutions that you cannot do anything about them, no matter how evil or wrong they are . . .” Later, the same William Colby is found dead in the Potomac under what appear to be suspicious circumstances. There have been so many “suicides” and accidents of those who could have revealed information that would have been troublesome to those in power that the US life expectancy must have been decreased. Such deaths are far too numerous and meaningful to have occurred by mere chance. The descriptions of the events and people come at the reader very fast and require close focus to comprehend the connections involved and the significances of them. I have done a lot of research on the 9/11 events, the Oklahoma City bombing, the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK Jr. and JFK, Jr., the events involving the Clintons, and many others to know that the book has the distinct ring of truth. In the future, I would like Jeffries to delve into the Jeffrey Epstein “suicide,” the death of Associate Justice Antonin Scalia in Texas, the death of DNC worker Seth Rich in D.C., the “suicide” of FBI Special Agent Salvatore “Sal” Cincinelli in Austin, Texas in mid-2019, who was investigating the Clinton Foundation, and those of others – yet to be “suicided.” Although we know that suspicious and meaningful deaths predate the establishment of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the USA, we long have had a huge problem involving a “shadow government/deep state” and what appear to be demonic forces at large and the CIA looks like a modern prime suspect. “Hidden History” should give the reader a period of insomnia and fear as well as great respect for those who dare to push back against the evil disclosed in the book. I am left wondering and pondering what the “big picture” of all this is. Are we really living in a contrived matrix? What is the “end game” to all this? As for the thought that there could not be a covert conspiracy without someone talking, well, that is taken care of by all the untimely deaths – and there are a lot of them.

Overall, this is an excellent examination of various cover-ups and controversial subjects in recent US history (since 1963). Jeffries does a good job explaining the concept of fake liberals/leftists, and the idea that elites prefer to create a controlled political opposition to maintain the appearance of democracy. This includes a compliant corporate media, and the phony Republican-Democrat puppet show.

The chapter on the JFK assassination is pretty good. The MLK section is too short and doesn't mention the 1999 civil trial. The RFK chapter is very well done. Chappaquiddick and Watergate could have been discussed in more detail. The book gets much stronger dealing with the 1980s and beyond. The Reagan-Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama years are covered in detail, including black operations, false flags, mysterious deaths and cover-ups that I had either forgotten or never heard about. There is no partisanship here. Jeffries skewers both parties equally, and even gets into the darker regions of child trafficking.

The chapter on the death of JFK Jr. is also excellent, and contains a lot of information that was new to me.

There are a few weak spots, though. There is no mention of the USS Liberty, which appeared to be an attempt by the Israelis and Lyndon Johnson to sink an American ship, blame Egypt for it, and get the US involved in the Six Day War (perhaps to overthrow Nasser and retake the Suez Canal). There are also a few errors. Operation Northwoods was not a CIA plan; it was conceived by the Pentagon. He also claims that Nixon was the first President to impose wage and price controls, but this was also done by FDR during World War II. I don't understand the praising of Ferdinand Marcos either (he misses the chance to discuss the Golden Lily treasure here).

Some quotes are also questionable. I've never been able to confirm that the Sarah McClendon quote from GHWB was actually printed in her newsletter. Has anyone ever seen a copy of it? The Caroline Kennedy quote about Obama is from a very iffy source. The William Colby quote is found all over the internet; it apparently comes from Dave McGowan and I'm skeptical that he actually said it.

I also wish there was a bibliography. Still, I highly recommend this book. Jeffries has obviously been researching these subjects for a long time, and a few errors are unavoidable in a work like this.

This review comes from a Gen z human being raised in America.. it’s embarrassing to say but at my inner city school they don’t teach a lot about presidents outside of GW, Abe, GWB, Obama, Trump & Biden.. so this book was illuminating in going over the main standouts during each presidents tenure since jfk-BO. It is a good basic beginners book to our history if someone out there didn’t know how our more recent presidents have run our country & how the media has shined light on their “good deeds” but never bring their true skeletons to light, while actively ignoring those who provide evidence against mainstream narratives.. So many bodies.. so many children involved.. and this book just scratches the surface. There are a lot of other books/quotes referenced in this book which in turn is leading me to other journalists/authors and their writings. It was a 4/5 book. Not 5 stars because it doesn’t go into every single minute detail about presidents & their actions but it wasn’t meant to, that book would be too long! So I def would recommend this book to anyone like myself who had no previous knowledge of what these presidents did & how they operated & some of the schemes they were involved in.. I’m doing alot of catching up.. we’ve had presidents who aren’t even citizens/weren’t born on US soil, and some that were once head of intelligence agencies… if anyone is interested in GHWB read “THE BUSH CONNECTION” it leads back into the German ratlines…

Amazing book. After listening to the author on a radio show explain his book like an encyclopedia I was sceptical. But, it really did read as easy as fact finding in an encyclopedia but without losing the thread of the story in doing so. I get annoyed by theoretical history books that dont back up with facts. This is the complete opposite. I actually asked Mr. Jeffries (author) if he would do a similar book on uk,blair etc. Sadly at the moment he is too busy doing a pre '63 USA book. Maybe one day.

The reason I did not rank this book 5 stars is because the writing style is at times hard to follow. In mid paragraph the author with start a new topic or start talking about a new "character". Also, sometimes I did not find the context consistent with the topic. That being said, I believe the majority of the information contained in the pages factual. I have heard long ago about the "Clinton body count" but was unaware of the body count of other POTUS. The one thing I will say about the body count numbers is, in my opinion, some of the "hits" may have occurred without the knowledge of the POTUS by the CIA, FBI, etc. It is my personal belief that there is a shadow government in the "Intelligence" community working towards a One World government. I have no evidence. The one thing that sort of throws up a red flag is how this author is safe from these covert forces when other whistleblowers have been silenced?

Needless to say if even some of accusation contained in this book are true there is a huge problem within USA politics.

If this had been a work of fiction it would be quite fanciful. Unfortunately for the world it's not and therefore very disturbing.
It reminds us of the true value of your life to those in power regardless of your social position.
