A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn
The Classic National Bestseller
“A wonderful, splendid book—a must-read for every American who wants to understand our true history and our future.” –Howard Fast
Description
In A People’s History of the United States, historian Howard Zinn offers a powerful reimagining of American history, telling the story from the bottom up. Rejecting the traditional narrative focused on powerful men and events, Zinn centers the lives and struggles of everyday people—the working poor, African Americans, Native Americans, women, immigrants, and laborers—providing a richer, more inclusive perspective.
Written in engaging and accessible prose, this groundbreaking book reveals the untold history of the American people. Zinn explores the grassroots battles for workers’ rights, women’s suffrage, racial equality, and more—struggles often met with violent resistance. Spanning from Columbus’s arrival to President Clinton’s first term, A People’s History offers fresh insights into the pivotal moments in U.S. history.
This edition also includes an introduction by Anthony Arnove, who coauthored Voices of a People’s History of the United States with Zinn and directed The People Speak with him.

Another highly recommended book for these dark times. Great to add to your collection if you’re concerned about revisionist history.

A fresh look at American history. Recommended, regardless of political views! Long but worth reading, had the book for several years on my shelf and finally got around to read it
