With over 40 years of influence, this Harper Perennial Modern Classic offers a richly researched, award-nominated narrative that challenges traditional accounts, making it a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper, more inclusive understanding of the nation’s past. ## Description Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People’s History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools—with its emphasis on great men in high places—to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People’s History of the United States is the only volume to tell America’s story from the point of view of—and in the words of—America’s women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country’s greatest battles—the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women’s rights, racial equality- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus’s arrival through President Clinton’s first term, A People’s History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Review: A great book - The book provides great insight into the making of the United States, after the landing of Saint Columbus, and covering a very long period-till the presidency of Bill Clinton. The book really tells about the events faced by the common people, in making of the country. Recording the history of a nation requires a lot of research and access to documents and records. There is enough evidence to this end, seeing the size of the book and the background notes and references made. Any serious reader will learn a great deal while studying the book. It can serve as an important reference book for all curious readers. While historic events have made the US a great country, the price paid by its people has been unbelievable. This is a must book for all who want understand history of nation building. Review: History of USA - Mr Howard Zinn has done extensive research in writing this book. Great read for anyone wanting to know about the struggles of people before gaining independence. ## Features - Harper Perennial Modern Classics ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #42,529 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4 in Indigenous History #33 in History Encyclopedias #40 in Cultural & Ethnic Studies | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 15,881 Reviews | ## Images ![A People's History of the United States - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Zb-D8NaGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great book *by A***A on 27 June 2023* The book provides great insight into the making of the United States, after the landing of Saint Columbus, and covering a very long period-till the presidency of Bill Clinton.
