A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present by Howard Zinn

informative reflective slow-paced

5.0

Unbelievably eye-opening. Potentially my favorite book I have read this year. Hearing the first hand accounts of voices otherwise lost to history was incredibly powerful. I am very grateful for the update of this book to include light information regarding the aftermath of 9/11 because the continuation of Carter/Reagan/Bush/Clinton Middle East relations into the 2000s using this as an excuse is without a doubt going to continue to prove US foreign policy to be one of the most reprehensible in the world. Additionally, I hope a lot of the fervor regarding strikes and unionization becomes intensified as happened in Ludlow, CO and many other instances. Learned so much from this book
