Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book is so important for the national discussion. And, this book is a great contribution to the "People's" actual history of the United States. I just received this book as a resource - I could not put it down. I took a break to see if Howard Zinn is alive and how I might meet him. Unfortunately, all that we have are his Books, Plays, Interviews and Reflections. Being a playwright has certainly influenced his historical writings and style in this book. History is a story and he tells that story with great detail and courage. In addition, his truth is the truth of all of America since his perspective is from the viewpoint of the Indians when Columbus landed, the factory workers, women, African-Americans... This is a must read.
