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

5.0

It took nearly the gestation period of an elephant, but I finished it! The writing is incredibly dense; each chapter contains a staggering amount of information (hence the slow read). Definitely five stars - should be required reading for Americans and anyone affected by American economic or foreign policy (soooo, pretty much everyone on the planet). Warning: the information may be confronting for anyone not previously exposed to non-mainstream perspectives of American history (see, for example, a handful the one-star reviews).
