The Work Behind the Book

Clay Rushing is an independent researcher and author based in Texas. His first book, History of The United States Through My Eyes, is the product of years of cross-referencing congressional records, declassified intelligence documents, archival research, and primary sources — tracing the suppressed threads of American history into a single, coherent narrative.

His thesis is simple: winners write history in their view, and they put themselves in the best light. The documented record, however, tells a more complicated story — one of financial interests, intelligence operations, and decisions made far from public view that shaped the nation's direction at every major turning point.

His mission is equally simple: to create a permanent, documented record of what actually happened, for anyone willing to look.

History of The United States Through My Eyes is his first book. It will not be his last.

How This Book Was Built

Documented Facts

Every major claim grounded in congressional records, FOIA-released documents, declassified intelligence files, or the direct public statements of the people involved. Where the record is solid, it is presented as fact with attribution.

Analysis & Interpretation

Where documented facts support a pattern or conclusion, that interpretation is presented as the author's analysis — clearly framed as such, not asserted as settled history.

Open Questions

Where the historical record is incomplete, contested, or sealed, those questions are named as open questions — not filled in with speculation dressed as fact.

Primary Sources

The book draws on the Pujo Committee hearings, the Church Committee, the Iran-Contra Special Report, declassified NSA documents, the 9/11 Commission Report, and scores of other primary and archival sources. A full research guide is available on this site.
