A People's History of the United States

1492 - Present
by Howard Zinn
****
Howard Zinn has an interesting perspective on the history - he puts himself in the shoes of the underdog (the people) and tells the story of the last 500 years. In the age of the "free agent" it certainly offers a good insight for the readers and for the next generation of leadership. This is not revisionist history, rather, it is describing the "dark side of the moon."
