A People’s History of the United States: A National Bestselling Book on U.S. History and the Fight for Racial Equality

Most history books are written from the top down — kings, presidents, wars, treaties. Howard Zinn flips that completely, telling the story of America through the eyes of the people who usually get left out of the textbooks: enslaved people, factory workers, Native Americans, women fighting for the vote. It’s been controversial since it was published, and it’s also been one of the most widely read history books of the past fifty years for exactly that reason. Whether you agree with every page or not, it changes how you think about whose stories count as history. A must-read for students and curious readers alike.
