A People's History of the United States 1492 To the Present

Description:

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.

Selected Reviews:

"His text is studded with telling quotations from labor leaders, war resisters, and fugitive slaves. There are vivid descriptions of events that are usually ignored. ...Open-minded readers will profit from Professor Zinn's account, and historians may well view it as a step toward a coherent new version of American history."

--Eric Foner, New York Times Book Review
