Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Praise for A People's History of the United States: "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."-Eric Foner, The New York Times Book Review Howard Zinn's first book for young adults is a retelling of US history from the viewpoints of slaves, workers, immigrants, women, and Native Americans with color images, a glossary, and primary sources. Volume one begins with a look at Christopher Columbus' arrival through the eyes of the Arawak Indians and leads the reader through the strikes and rebellions of the industrial age. Review:"[A] worthwhile supplementary text for history courses." Children's Literature Synopsis:The classic alternative history of the US retold for young adults. Synopsis:A Young People's History of the United States brings to US history the viewpoints of workers, slaves, immigrants, women, Native Americans, and others whose stories, and their impact, are rarely included in books for young people.

In so doing, he reminds readers that Americas true greatness is shaped by our dissident voices, not our military generals.
