by Howard Zinn

4/5
Harper Perennial Modern Classics 752 pages November 17, 2015

Howard Zinn's radical retelling of American history from the perspective of the people who are typically left out — Indigenous Americans, enslaved Africans, women, laborers, and immigrants. A provocative counter-narrative that challenges the traditional textbook version of the American story.

Jim's Review

🐛
Zinn flips the script on everything you learned in high school history class. Whether you agree with every argument or not, this book will make you think — really think — about whose stories get told and whose get buried. Jim came away seeing American history in a completely different light. It's passionate, it's angry, and it's essential reading for anyone who wants the full picture. Four worms — a necessary provocation.
