People's History of the United States

Howard Zinn

Comments: I listened to the last part on the 20-th century. This is his update in the last revised edition. Wonderful work! Great perspective! Zinn deals more with black people, women, and the workers' class, and acknowledges that he presents less the history through the eyes of gay and Hispanic immigrants. Nevertheless, the amplitude and the encompassment of the work is remarkable. Zinn goes beyond the usual historic discourse driven by jingoism, and outlines the last century events in a bitter, judgemental, and resourcefully well-supported manner.
