I'm satisfied =]
The copy of the book I received has some wear and some water damage to the last 100 pages so that's why I gave an average score, but everything is still readable so it's ok. As for the content of the book, it's a left wing view of U.S. history. My history teacher had my class buy this book and one from the author Schweikart (who is a right wing view) so it's nice to see different perspectives. Zinn has a lot of examples and statistics which paints a more understanding picture. The chapters are a tad too long for my liking because I have trouble concentrating, but most the stuff he talks about is interesting enough to hold your attention.

Zinn has a neo-Marxist Agenda to push - don't buy into it
Zinn's "history" is thoroughly filtered through his Marxist worldview. He is not chronicling American history, he is ATTACKING it, as he considers the west, and America in particular, an "enemy of the people" (he substitutes diversity language for the old-style Leninist rhetoric, but the dialectic is the same). A better historian can see the good - and bad - in ALL peoples. Zinn ignores the good while placing so much emphasis on our failures that he is able to indoctrinate students to his twisted viewpoint - which is his real purpose. I notice however, that he has no qualms about remaining in this "terrible, unjust, oppressive" society. A few years in North Korea might be helpful for this "historian". Don't buy into his agenda - he doesn't neutrally report history, he just sees what he wants to.Read full review

True American History
Howard Zinn opened my eyes to actual events in our country's history. Mostly, all the little details that were left out of our public school history books. I really liked the way he backed up all of his findings by publishing where you could look up the facts in his book. Most authors write about their personnal feelings. Not Howard, he went to great lengths to prove the facts. I first heard about this book in the motion picture "Good Will Hunting". In the movie, Matt Damon told Robin Williams, "If you want to know the real history of the United States, you should read Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, it will blow your f***'n mind!". I looked the book up, found it, and read it. Just like Will Hunting said, it blew my mind. A must read for all Americans.

A Game Changer
This book changed my life! It is a powerful alternative perspective on American history. Zinn is an incredible writer who will make you see history through the people's eyes, dispelling many things you were taught in primary education as part of socialization into the "good citizen" role. Not that we don't need good citizens...we absolutely do. But we need educated, critical thinkers, who understand history as it truly was, not as we'd like it to have been. We learn from history,so that we don't repeat our mistakes. We can't spin it through rose colored glasses, and pretend we didn't make any. One thing is for sure; this book will make you angry and tug at the heart strings. You will not walk away thinking the same way you did before you read it.

Worth reading for background
Reading this is quite a chore. The presentation is designed to underscore the personal and very judgmental opinion of the Author by long and often repetitious details of the social and economic abuse of presumed American ideals in a nearly out of control growing population. The difficulty with reading this book is that while it presents in excruciating detail all the improprieties in the recent history of the USA, it offers little to nothing about the possible solutions or alternatives. That said, it fills in with miniscule detail the sporadic development of the North American economy by a system that remained reactive to it's own issues at all levels of the economic ladder. That makes this a relevant reference piece.
