 Everyone should read this September 6, 2010

Zinn tells the real story of history. Millions have read this book, but it should be read by the rest of the country. If so, the people would rise up and throw out the corporate-welfare loving politicians and devote our national wealth to real purposes instead of the corporate profits of the weapons makers.
 A necessary alternative to everything you learned in history class September 6, 2010

I think every student in America should have to read this book! It's really left, but it exposes the other sides of the stories that we're all way too familiar with - the american revolution, the institution of slavery, the civil war, industrialization, etc etc. It exposes the long history of the social justice movements that are either completely left out, glossed over, or mis-credited in standard American history books. If you want to learn more about the oppression of Native Americans, women, Africans, European Immigrants, farm workers, railroad workers, etc and how all these folks fought back - read Zinn!
Time to review what you think you know about history of U.S. September 5, 2010

This book is an "eye-opener". Think about what you learned in school about our history. Then set all that aside and read this book with an open mind. It's amazing what was left out of our history books and classes. This is a good read. It is easy to read and keeps the reader thoroughly involved. Everyone should take time to read it.
Excellent history September 5, 2010

It is refreshing to read a work that is free of partisan bias - honesty in its treatment of native
Americans. There is no whitewash in its treatment of the Vietnam debacle. I higholy recommend it.

Howard Zinn captures the history of America that is left out of classrooms. A People's History of the United States could be used as a textbook or a "start to finish", either way it is very informative and entertaining.
