Synopsis
With more than 300,000 paperback copies sold in its previous edition, this phenomenal bestseller, now revised for the first time, provides a "brilliant and moving history of the American people from the point of view of those who have been exploited politically and economically and whose plight has been largely omitted from most histories" (Library Journal)., Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history 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, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history., "It's a wonderful, splendid book-a book that should be read by every American, student or otherwise, who wants to understand his country, its true history, and its hope for the future." -Howard Fast, author of Spartacus and The Immigrants "[It] should be required reading." -Eric Foner, New York Times Book Review Library Journal calls Howard Zinn's iconic A People's History of the United States "a brilliant and moving history of the American people from the point of view of those…whose plight has been largely omitted from most histories." Packed with vivid details and telling quotations, Zinn's award-winning classic continues to revolutionize the way American history is taught and remembered. Frequent appearances in popular media such as The Sopranos, The Simpsons, Good Will Hunting, and the History Channel documentary The People Speak testify to Zinn's ability to bridge the generation gap with enduring insights into the birth, development, and destiny of the nation.

    Seller shipped out the DVD miniseries called THE KENNEDY'S to me very quickly and it arrived earlier than listed and well wrapped up for the journey. They have great buy two get one free sales and their prices are great. The dvd set was listed as good and it showed up looking as new. I keep coming back to them for their veritery, prices, shipping speed and communication. Don't know yet if it's a good miniseries, but it is a good seller to buy from.

    Item came on time and as described, have already done business with seller as this was a replacement for a refunded defective copy of the same set of DVDs. This copy worked great. The seller refunded my defective copy without hesitation and gladly allowed me to buy again. I will buy from this seller if they have any other DVDs I ever need. This is the kind of seller you want to buy from. They communicate well too.* The DVD set was a fantastic price too, thanks again.!

    Item as described; plays well; quality as described; proper communication; fair price; timely receipt; could have packaged the dvds in a small box rather than a flimsy bag that causes the cases to get broken and chipped and sometimes the dvds get broken. Other than the flimsy bag, everything was great!

    Wish I had while in school

    I have always enjoyed history, world Civ. But sadly the number of books that put me to sleep I've given up counting. What an excellent, easy to read, keeps your interest book. Someone introduce it to todays students, they wont be bored. I opened it in the middle the day it arrived to determine where in my "read" pile it should go. And I've continued reading every day since, you should know my read pile is endless, the fact it jumped so far ahead should tell you it's a "must read" even if history is not your thing, it will lay out all those chunks of history you learned each year in school into one canvas as if you were a fly on the wall of time observing it all. A++

    American History must read.

    Wow! Rips the scabs off of our heritage including the tactics hundreds of years ago Employed by the ruling class to keep the lower classes at odds and confused in order to protect legacy wealth. Same thing as going on today which explains a movement by right wingers to have this book banned from schools.

    Best US History Book. Ever

    best US History Book. EVER. Zinn's history presents US History in a version that is like a print to a negative. He tells our 'story' from the perspective of the masses...not the oppressors. Starting with Native Amerians, and working up through African Americans, workers, women, war opposers, and beyond...you get to hear the voice of Americans that are rarely heard in conventional US History books. Very valuable read!

    Real Deal on American History

    Lots of information on how our country treated American Indians and each new minority entering America as immigrants. Lots of compelling facts about the labor struggles and union wars. Goes into detail about political corruption and slavery.
