Book Review: Useless
Summary: 1 Stars
Useless, a disappointing purchase. I sold mine off. It's just alot of leftist thought regarding how nasty everyone was throughout the years of the U.S.'s history, oppressing everyone.Book Review: A Peoples History of the United States
Summary: 5 Stars
This has to be one of the most fascinating History books ever. I wish they had had this out when I was in school.Book Review: Lots of material
Summary: 4 Stars
The book is filled with interesting information, but I didn't love the way it was written. I agree that it sometimes seems like a losers history of the US.Book Review: Discredited and passe
Summary: 1 Stars
Howard Zinn's time is past. Colleges and universities stopped using it long ago. The last bastion was the high schools but today's teachers know it for what it is and use it only sparingly as an example of how revisionist historians distort history.Book Review: Tedious Writing Style Hides Extraordinary Content
Summary: 3 Stars
I found this book to be, at times, outstanding. At other times, less than outstanding. Some chapters stand alone quite well as excellent sources of history, while other chapters tend to tread water. I found the author's writing style a bit hard to digest. This aspect of the book is my biggest complaint. After reading the book (from a library) I did decide to buy it because I feel certain chapters/passages will serve me well in the future as an educator.
