Format:Taschenbuch
Zinn's book is an essential antidote to the standard histories that glorify the elites and ignore the working people and all of the other folks who have been trampled on during our history. I highly recommend the abridged edition for use in classes -- it contains the same analysis with fewer supporting examples, and is thus easier for students to get through.

Unlike the reader from Cal Berkeley, I am willing to give my name, Dan Krejci, my location, Boise, Idaho, and that as a graduate student in history I have found Howard Zinn's fabulous textbook a great asset to both my research and my pedagogy. This is the textbook that Todd Gitlin, Gary Nash, and myself have been looking for as a guiding light to a history curriculum that will embrace American multiculturalism and demystify the antiquated Bancroftian historiography that perpetuates old myths rather than deal with new realities. Zinn's history is a small step for humankind and a giant step away from Rankean orthodoxy. Zinn's book is a cry for a rejuvenation of our discipline where interdisciplinary studies are paralleling the pluralism that makes up American values and style and need to be addressed in both the classroom and the boardroom.

According to James W. Loewen's, "Lies My Teacher Told Me," students consider history "the most irrelevant" of twenty-one subjects taught in high school. Whether you graduated last year or sixteen years ago, like myself, the history textbooks used today are just as boring as the ones we used in high school. Howard Zinn's, "A People's History Of The United States," enthusiatically replaces the orthodox form of teaching history (the rote memorization of names, dates, and places) by embracing the revisionist form of teaching history, which will inspire students to critically think and promote life-long learning, rather than bored to tears in-class sleepers.
Zinn's approach to history shows his readers that there is a connection between the past, the present, and the future. His revisionist approach takes on a more Einsteinian paradigm (that everything is relative) rather than the traditional Newtonian paradigm (how can a social science be a pure science?). This approach allows the students to analyze and develop the underlying relationships in historical events in an effort to help us and them solve future problems.
Students deserve to know the truth. They need to know the real reason why someone in their right mind would sail of the edge of the world-the spice surely was not nutmeg. They need to know how Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Vanderbilt became so rich and famous-their fortunes were built from the backs of cheap and exploited immigrant labor. In a nutshell, Zinn in his sometimes humorous and always vernacular way makes history interesting, and dare I say? FUN.
