    While a great introduction read the real books by Zinn
  

*by L***Z on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2011*

Zinn is dealing with subjects that were whitewashed in history.  When one objectively looksat the nation, the facts are that the South's economy was based on horrendous slavery.The land was inhabited by millions of Native Americans.  Britain was ending the slavetrade and limiting expansion into Native lands.  For the common man, slave, or Indianour history is tragic.Washington, Jefferson and the rest of the Founding fathers were all slave holders, so much ofall men are created equal.The Revolution was for the Aristocratic Class to increase profits, continue slavery and expandinto lands that were already owned by Native Americans.He chronicles American foreign policy and our many wars objectively, exploring the realreasons we went to war, looking at the motivations.The criticisms about using the Atomic bomb, that some here have attacked, the only Hiroshima wasselected as a city that was still standing.  But it was not filled with solders, most of the Japanesesolders were dead, it was filled with children, old men and woman.  Talk to anyone from Japan about thepopulation.The fairy tale we make of America, the land of the free is hardly true.  The common man got nothingfrom the revolution except to serve in miserable armies.  The French were the real victors,supplying 90% of our gunpowder and troops.  When the British surrendered, there were more French Troopson the battle field than American, the French had the harbor blockaded so the British couldn't escapeand the English general tried to surrender to the French.Stand aside and look at the world from the slave, the poor, the Natives and what do you see?Washington had a policy of exterminating Eastern Native Tribes, so many solders deserted becausethey weren't being fed, paid, cold without proper clothing, and their farms were failing.  Washingtonwould round them up and have their friends form firing squads "you have to teach them a lesson:".Really, read  A People's History for a more scholarly and complete and compelling approach.  This is the reader's digest version.

    The true American people's drama...not just "Rich, White, Elite American History"
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2010*

After reading this graphic adaptation of the history text it created based on I immediately bought the original history text, "A People's History of the United States", and am currently sucked into it. If I had been offered history classes that taught history this way when I was in grade school, high school, and previous college experience I would have taken it more seriously and immersed myself in history, philosophy, and studies of sociology as I have come to in the last few months since reading this graphic adaptation and then the history text it was based on.The graphic adaptation gives a contextual, more human reference, and more relatable feel to the true human and everyday life impact of the history we simply read about. It gave a reality to the topic matter breezed over in school and really made me understand the humanity behind it all that had to deal with, roll with, and simply make do with the best opportunities they were given, and then take great, defiant leaps and bounds over hurdles to earn the rest of the freedoms we simply are given - with no work involved on our part - upon birth.This book is excellent. I recommend it. After reading it, and being sucked into "A People's History of the United States", I am even driven to feel that history classes titled "American History" that only touch on history - as told from the stand-point of the rich, white elites would best rather referred to as "Rich, White, Elite American History". The only true classes that can begin to be called "American History" must adapt the lessons taught in Howard Zinn's "A People's History of American Empire" and "A People's History of the United States" - the only history, philosophy, sociology, or reference text that I've come across so far that truly captures the human drama of the middle class, poor whites and blacks, slaves and indentured servants, women, and factory and farm workers in American history.I give this book a 10 out of 10, 25 out of 25, and 100 out of 100. Howard Zinn is truly an American in all aspects of the word in it's truest, deepest, and most selfless, and patriotic sense in imparting history in it's most truthful, actual, factual, and honest form.

    A People's History of the American Empire
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2012*

When my 10 year old granddaughter opened up this book, she immediately sat down to get a good glimpse of it.  Finding it very appealing on skimming over it, she kissed the book and said "Thank you, Mema" the way kids say that about the most wonderful gift you just gave them.  She then read the whole book over the next 24 hours and, upon finishing it, said "Now I have to read it again".  She started again.  We were spending a weekend together.  She has since picked up the book several times, when visiting me, to reread certain sections.  For Isabelle, this book is a treasure, and she has noted how much her teachers needed to read this book so that they didn't continue to impose the myths they insisted she learn about who Columbus and George Washington really were. She appreciated the information she garnered about the Native Americans and the Africans brought to this country to become slaves.  Isabelle also immediately loved and admired the illustrations.  This is the kind of book our children and grandchildren need to be given.
