A People's History of the United States, Volume 2: The Civil War to the Present
- Book Review,
by Howard Zinn
New York Times Book Review
Professor Zinn writes with an enthusiasm rarely encountered in the leaden prose of academic history, and his text is studded with telling quotations from labor leaders, war resisters, and fugitive slaves. There are vivid descriptions of events that are usually ignored. . . a reversal of perspectives, a reshuffling of heroes and villains.
