Book Reviews of A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present (Perennial Classics)

Book Review: Great book, highlights all the overlooked controversies.
Summary: 4 Stars

Zinn does very well in exposing the details of America's historical roots, highlighting controversial issues, explaining opposing theories and giving a balanced view of the conflicts that have ravaged its' history. However, the first few chapters, in which we learn of the blood-thirsty nature of the Spanish 'Discovery', seem more intent on telling the reader how 'un-biased' this book is. All in all though, a recommended read for any history buffs.
