"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.
