Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, working poor, and immigrant laborers.

This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

another look at the American way
Really makes you stop and think. Objectivity has been in short supply when teaching American history in schools.

Excelent
As soon as I received my book I had to use it, and I must say it's been more than I expected, the reading is easy and understandable for a non native speaker like me. Professor Zinn shows history from the point of view of the "nobodies", the forgotten ones, which gives the reader a wider view of the real history of the United States, not everything is "freedom" and "democracy" my friends... I am sure I am going to enjoy this book a lot!

Peoples History of the US
Wonderful book, arrived in perfect condition, imparts the truth about our history, which we never learned in school.

Informative Book
This book presents a history of the United States that is not taught in schools or universities. It provides a history of our country from the views and experiences of regular people, such as blacks, women, and laborers.

History as it should be taught.
This should be required reading for all High School US History students. Gives a whole new look at what is being taught or isn't being taught today...
