This is like the liberal answer to reader's digest, not a history book. ( )

Howard Zinn has his biases, like any other writer passionate enough to write about the topics he covers, but the man has a gift for laying things out in a way that's honest and fair while still being true to his beliefs, all while being accessible and straightforward. A great starting point for navigating the murky waters of misinformation and biases that is American history and politics.

This edition includes material from A People's History of the United States with additional chapters narrating events through 2001. As usual, Zinn writes partisan history intended to compensate for a perceived anti-democratic bias in mainstream history-writing. His work is a popular corrective to the "consensus" view of U.S. history that has deadened the curiosity of generations of high-school students by teaching them that their past is dull and lifeless. Many people will never read him because he offends their notion of political correctness, but in my experience he has a more enthusiastic and appreciative public than any other contemporary historian.

This is a history book like no other. The late Howard Zinn writes his history books from the point of view of the downtrodden and oppressed, the underdog and the ordinary people who struggle.

In this book he covers the 20th century including the Clinton Presidency. He covers the women's movement, the anti-war movements, the trade unionist movement, the strikers, the African american experience, the Native American Experience... what all of those have in common is a struggle against the Government.

Zinn writes compassionately but not romantically of the struggles, the successes and the failures of all these groups in their fight to attain equality and justice.

An excellent book, especially for those who have only been taught history by the standard american history textbook. ( )
