New York — Rocco Joseph Mazza, behavioral scientist, historian, business leader, and political commentator, is celebrating a major milestone as his new book, Setting the Record Straight: Truth Matters. History Matters., has officially debuted on the Amazon Best Seller List.
At a time when political division dominates headlines and public trust in institutions continues to decline, Mazza’s book has resonated with readers seeking thoughtful analysis, historical perspective, and a renewed commitment to truth.
Setting the Record Straight is a compelling collection of real Letters to the Editor written over several years in response to political misinformation, media bias, and what Mazza believes is the growing effort to rewrite American history. Organized chronologically, the book chronicles one citizen’s determination to speak out when silence would have been easier.
“This book was never written to win popularity contests,” said Mazza. “It was written because truth matters. History matters. And if we lose our commitment to either one, we risk losing far more than a political argument. We risk losing our understanding of who we are as a nation.”
Drawing upon his background in behavioral science and his lifelong study of history, Mazza offers readers a unique perspective on the forces driving political polarization, the psychology of groupthink, the influence of media narratives, and the importance of preserving civil discourse in a democratic society.
Unlike many books focused on politics, Setting the Record Straight seeks to move beyond partisan talking points and instead explore the underlying human behaviors that shape public opinion, decision-making, and cultural division.
The book’s rapid rise onto the Amazon Best Seller List reflects a growing appetite among readers for conversations centered on accountability, critical thinking, and historical understanding.
Throughout the book, Mazza challenges readers to think independently, question assumptions, and examine the historical lessons that continue to shape America’s future.
“This is not a book written to appease,” Mazza said. “It is written to confront, to preserve history, and to demand accountability. History has taught us that societies often repeat their mistakes when they forget the lessons of the past. My hope is that this book encourages readers to engage in thoughtful dialogue and never stop pursuing the truth.”
Mazza is available for television interviews, radio interviews, podcast appearances, keynote presentations, media commentary, and speaking engagements.
