The Twentieth Century: A People's History [J0239]

2003 - PB With minor wear. Containing just the twentieth-century chapters from Howard Zinn's bestselling A People's History of the United States, this revised and updated edition includes two new chapters -- covering Clinton's presidency, the 2000 Election, and the "war on terrorism." Highlighting not just the usual terms of presidential administrations and congressional activities, this book provides you 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.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Essential stuff, and--in spite of defeat after defeat of causes for humanity and justice in the previous century--filled with hope for a better future."; "This is a must-read for anyone interested in American political history of the 20th century. The book is admittedly biased-but Zinn is open about that, explaining that his aim is to illuminate the darker, often overlooked sides of history."; "A monumentally courageous and authentic flipping of the script. "
