Reviews'Professor Zinn writes with an enthusiasm rarely encountered in the leaden prose of academic history, and his text is studded with telling quotations from labor leaders, war resisters and fugitive slaves. There are vivid descriptions of events that are usually ignored, such as the great railroad strike of 1877 and the brutal suppression to the Philippine independence movement at the turn of this century. Professor Zinn's chapter on Vietnam--bringing to life once again the free-fire zones, secret bombings, massacres and cover-ups--should be required reading for a new generation of students now facing conscription.'

Real history
I’m not the first to say this, but most US histories are written by elite people about elite people. This is about the down and dirty—the great unwashed and how they were affected, mostly negatively, by the elite.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
