“This book tells the history of people who were and are living in USA. Typically history books are more like achivement stories of past Presidents, Generals and Political Leaders. There was always a need to research and write a book on behalf of those whose lives were affected by the Presidents, Generals and Political Leaders without their own sane choice. Sadly, its ugly but true.....”
“What are the highlights of the book?”
“i love it.”
“A very well written and unique history of the United States with many perspectives that are not included in our usual education. If you're interested in this book you should come by and check out the "Anarchism in the Library" group.”
“very interesting and much needed. i have read it twice and always go back to reference the book. Sometimes, I might just read a chapter or two here and there. I have to get a new copy.”
“Is this book intersting ?”
“An unabashed liberal tour de force. Well written and edited. I’d be remise if I did not mention up front that this book is as slanted left as any published by the far right ... and of course, that was Zinn’s point. He is trying to balance the scales of justice between what America has accomplished through conflict and whom they sacrificed (without regard) in pursuit of that same accomplishment. Conspiracy Theorists will embrace this as a bible. I think it better serves as a strong and needed counter weight to American History. 2/12/08”
“I'm still trying to get through this!!! Very interesting, very long.”
“This is one of those books that has sat on my shelf and I have to read. Now that I've glimpsed the cover again- I'm moving it to the top of my pile... Really...”
“Excellent book recomended to me by my son a shelfari member. It is a fast way for us people who are not Americans to learn easily and quickly about this wonderful country.”
