On October 15, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will debut on Blu-ray “The Untold History of the United States,” a 10-part Showtime Original Series from three-time Academy Award-winning writer and director Oliver Stone.

The in-depth, surprising, and totally riveting series, co-written by Stone with Peter Kuznick and Matt Graham, was directed and narrated by Stone.

This is the first time the complete series will be available on Blu-ray in the U.S. “The Untold History of the United States” will also be available for digital download.

As Americans do we really know and understand our shared and complicated history? How do we recall the small details and forgotten players that influenced some of the biggest events from America’s past? Will our children actually get the whole story from reading history books? And how will it affect the future of our country?

The release includes two unaired chapters on World War 1, the Russian Revolution, and World War II - as well as a new companion documentary on American history featuring Stone and Tariq Ali - the author, philosopher, activist who worked with Stone on the documentary “South of the Border.”

Narrated by Oliver Stone, this new one-hour series features human events that at the time went under reported, but crucially shaped America’s unique and complex history. The first chapter explores the birth of the American Empire by focusing on Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin. Through examination of key decisions during World War II, discover unsung heroes such as American Henry Wallace and explore the demonization of the Soviets. Directed and narrated by Oliver Stone.

Highlights from the historical upset of Harry Truman replacing Henry Wallace as Roosevelt’s Vice President during his fourth term - this dramatic shift in leadership propelled the US towards empire building. Exploration of the relationship between the US and the Soviet Union and the beginnings of the Cold War. The relationships between Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill are an integral part of post-war Europe’s division at the Yalta conference. Directed and narrated by Oliver Stone.

The strategies behind the U.S. atomic bombings of Japan are explored as well as the new mythology that emerged from the war. The bombing haunted the Soviets and mistrust towards the Allies grew quickly. The consequences of beginning a process that could end life on the planet are examined. Directed and narrated by Oliver Stone.

The equation changes: specific month-by-month causes of the Cold War emerge and it is not entirely clear who started it. Highlights include Churchill’s Iron Curtain speech, the civil war in Greece and the Red Scare that prompts the rise of Joseph McCarthy, the House Un-American Activities Committee and the FBI. Directed and narrated by Oliver Stone.

Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles replace Truman. Stalin dies but relations with the Soviet Union turn colder. The H-bomb and the doctrine of nuclear annihilation are explored, as are the Korean War and U.S. rearmament. McCarthyism grows and so does the ruthlessness of U.S. policy towards a Third World. Eisenhower emerges as a game changer. Directed and narrated by Oliver Stone.

JFK and the Bay of Pigs; on the brink of total war during Cuban Missile Crisis; early Vietnam; JFK’s attempts at peace with Khrushchev; JFK assassinated. Directed and narrated by Oliver Stone.

Cataclysm in Vietnam as the war reaches a turning point - there’s no going back. The betrayal by Richard Nixon. Directed and narrated by Oliver Stone.

Carter’s dreams of change give way to Ronald Reagan. Gorbachev redeems Reagan and fresh opportunities for peace arise. The debate over Reagan’s legacy. Directed and narrated by Oliver Stone.

George W. Bush’s doctrine of endless war in Iraq and Afghanistan and the continued cannibalization of the U.S. economy. Squandered chances given by the end of the Cold War. A new USA, the National Security Fortress. Directed and narrated by Oliver Stone.

The meaning of events up to today. Obama and the destiny of the American Empire. Directed and narrated by Oliver Stone.
