Took me more than 3 years, but I finally finished this book. There are sections that are fascinating and sections that were boring to me, but I plowed through them all. Considering the scope Zinn was going for, this book is magnificent. Going into it understanding the viewpoint he was going for, I thought he did a great job overall and I was about to take a long list of titles for further reading in the areas that interested me. (  ) SGTCat | Feb 25, 2021 |  NA  pszolovits | Feb 3, 2021 | I have heard a lot about this book and the author is clear that he is viewing history from the perspective of the affected people. That means that we are shown history from the eyes of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, the revolutionary and civil wars from the eyes of slaves, the industrial revolution from the view of workers. The book is both frustrating and enlightening. (  ) Saraishelafs | Nov 4, 2020 | Frustrating, depressing, excruciating painful and shocking at times... Yup, one of the best histories I've ever read. Definitely leaning on the people's view of history instead of just the winners view. History as it should be taught - and I'm sure every right winner will say how wrong this book is, so you know the book is correct. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Also, excellent narrator for Audiobook ( ) marshapetry | Oct 16, 2020 | I do not regret many things in my life, but I do regret the hours I wasted reading this book. Zinn made no attempt to present any bias but his own. I curse the relentless march of time which saw Mr. Zinn dead in 2010, so I cannot write a strongly worded rebuke to him for the black mark he personally delivered to the field of history. I hope he died ashamed of the way he twisted a noble academic field into his own personal bully pulpit. I hope that anyone who reads this will be inspired to read primary sources and counter arguments and to consider the opposite. Mostly I hope that anyone who reads this book does not swallow it whole. I also hope everyone buys it secondhand. (  ) ErinCSmith | Jul 24, 2020 |
 Covering the period from 1492 practically to the present, this illuminating opus overturns many conventional notions, not just about America's treatment of blacks, but about Native Americans, women, and other disenfranchised groups whose perspectives have traditionally been left out of the education equation.
