Howard Zinn succinctly and accessibly highlights events of our nation's history that are often ignored in schools and mainstream history books. This book does not seek to rewrite history but merely expand the knowledge of its readers and the public at large. If you are interested in expanding your knowledge of history while being exposed to new information then this is a must have.

If you are interested in America's history through the perspective of the poor and the social out casts, then book is the one for you. This book examines all the histories that the Americas has gone through, citing the actions done by the rich, wealthy against the poor.

Wonderful and truly a history of the people. This book should be used in the schools instead of having to memorize timelines, battles, history from the view of the victors as if waging and winning wars were of the only importance.
Mr. Zinn tells the stories of all people...not just the the white men in power.

I never received this book. I was unable to obtain a refund or leave negative feedback because the seller is no longer a member of ebay.

Some review, huh?

I don't remember the events of my lifetime in nearly the same way Zinn does. One step more and he would fall off the left side of the world. The spinning he does is both transparent and deplorable.

This book changed my life! It is a powerful alternative perspective on American history. Zinn is an incredible writer who will make you see history through the people's eyes, dispelling many things you were taught in primary education as part of socialization into the "good citizen" role. Not that we don't need good citizens...we absolutely do. But we need educated, critical thinkers, who understand history as it truly was, not as we'd like it to have been. We learn from history,so that we don't repeat our mistakes. We can't spin it through rose colored glasses, and pretend we didn't make any. One thing is for sure; this book will make you angry and tug at the heart strings. You will not walk away thinking the same way you did before you read it.

This is an excellent book that should be taught in all US schools curriculum,
I heard about Howard Zinn from Eugene Weekly, a weekly paper in Eugene, Oregon.
