A review by saraishelafs
A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn

4.0

I have heard a lot about this book and the author is clear that he is viewing history from the perspective of the affected people. That means that we are shown history from the eyes of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, the revolutionary and civil wars from the eyes of slaves, the industrial revolution from the view of workers. The book is both frustrating and enlightening.
