From Columbus tothe Revolution to slavery and the Civil War—fromWorld War II to the election of George W. Bushand the “War on Terror”—A People’s History of theUnited States is an important and necessary contributionto a complete and balanced understandingof American history. Open-minded readers will prophet from Professor Zinn's account, and historians may view it as a step toward a coherent new version of American history. Updated to 2010
