Reader reviews for The Twentieth Century: A People's History

From the publisher

"Professor Zinn writes with an enthusiasm rarely encountered in the leaden prose of academic history....[His] chapter on Vietnam--bringing to life once again the fire-free zones, secret bombings, massacres, and cover-ups--should be required reading."--New York Times Book Review

Containing just the Twentieth Century chapters from Howard Zinn's bestselling A People's History of the United States, this reissue is brought up-to-date with coverage of events and developments since 2001, analyzing such incidents in modern political history such as the Gulf War, the post-Cold War "peace dividend," and the continuing debate over welfare, the Clinton presidency, and the "war on terrorism." Highlighting not just the usual terms of presidential administrations and congressional activities, this book provides readers with a "bottom-to-top" perspective, giving voice to our nation's minorities and letting the stories of such groups as African Americans, women, Native Americans, and the laborers of all nationalities be told in their own words.

Challenging traditional interpretations of U.S. history, The Twentieth Century is the book for readers interested in gaining a more realistic and complete picture of our world."

From the rear cover
