A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn
A new edition of this radical social history of America from Columbus to the present. This powerful and controversial study presents a vigorous re-interpretation of the American achievement. It turns orthodox American history upside down and portrays the social turmoil behind the 'march of progress'. Howard Zinn has fully updated his text with substantial coverage of the Carter, Reagan and Bush years and an Afterword on the Clinton presidency. Its commitment and vigorous style mean it will be compelling reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students and scholars in American social history, American studies, and the modern world, as well as the general reader.
"A brilliant and moving history of the American people from the point of view of those who have been exploited politically and economically and whose plight has been largely omitted from most histories" Library Journal "he tells an important and neglected part of the truth" The Guardian
