n nA wonderful, splendid book--a book that should be read by every American, student or otherwise, who wants to understand his country, its true history, and its hope for the future. -Howard Fastn nWith a new introduction by Anthony Arnove, this edition of the classic national bestseller chronicles American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official narrative taught in schools--with its emphasis on great men in high places--to focus on the street, the home and the workplace.n nKnown for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A Peoples History of the United States is the only volume to tell Americas story from the point of view of--and in the words of--Americas women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our countrys greatest battles--the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, womens rights, racial equality--were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance.n nCovering Christopher Columbuss arrival through President Clintons first term, A Peoples History of the United States features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. n
