Description
For much of his life, historian Howard Zinn has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version taught in schools - with its emphasis on great men in high places - to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace.
Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, Zinn's 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 - its women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, working poor, and immigrant laborers. Here we learn that many of our country's greatest battles - labor laws, women's rights, racial equality - were carried out at the grassroots level, against steel-willed resistance. This edition of A People's History of the United States features insightful analysis of some of the most important events in this country in the past 100 years.
Featuring a preface and afterword read by the author himself, this audio continues Howard Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.

How could have any one person written as wholly
How could have any one written as wholly as was attempted here by Howard. Though more could have been said it would have been ..... how much longer ..... it would have take a lifetime but the point is driven home. My only tiny fault to be perhaps addressed was. Mr. Zinns total and there be no fault in it at the time of writing is in the Constitution inference adding weight to white men of privilege motivations. Surely not all held as dear to their hearts As" all men be as equals" but on this one passing moment meant it to be so or entrenched in law and never forgot to be strived for. Perhaps for a moment the collective could feel it's benefit or as a benefit yet done. And for a brief moment did not seek advantage for just their station.

A very one sided point of view.
It feels very biased and fake. History should be told from a neutral point of view. I do not recommend this book. I'm sure there are better authors regarding these fascinating historical events.
