Excellent and informative. It's impossible to tell this kind of story without partiality, but I appreciate the level of research and and how Zinn connected the threads.

This book is incredibly dense. It was an expansive overview, and helped me identify which areas of history I am personally most interested in. I certainly learned a lot.
