  <description><![CDATA[Consistently lauded for its lively, readable prose,  <em>A People's History of the United States</em> turns traditional textbook history on its head, as Howard Zinn infuses the often-submerged voices of blacks, women, American Indians, war resisters, and poor laborers of all nationalities into the narrative. <em>The Twentieth Century</em> uses the relevant chapters of that book as a starting point, expanding upon the story to provide a rich portrait of the United States from the jingoistic rise of Theodore Roosevelt to the Clinton presidency. If your last experience of American history was brought to you by junior-high-school textbooks--or even if you're a specialist--get ready for the other side of stories you may not even have heard. With its vivid descriptions of rarely noted events, <em>The Twentieth Century</em> is required reading for anyone who wants to take a fresh look at America's legacy as a world power.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Consistently lauded for its lively, readable prose,  <em>A People's History of the United States</em> turns traditional textbook history on its head, as Howard Zinn infuses the often-submerged voices of blacks, women, American Indians, war resisters, and poor laborers of all nationalities into the narrative. <em>The Twentieth Century</em> uses the relevant chapters of that book as a starting point, expanding upon the story to provide a rich portrait of the United States from the jingoistic rise of Theodore Roosevelt to the Clinton presidency. If your last experience of American history was brought to you by junior-high-school textbooks--or even if you're a specialist--get ready for the other side of stories you may not even have heard. With its vivid descriptions of rarely noted events, <em>The Twentieth Century</em> is required reading for anyone who wants to take a fresh look at America's legacy as a world power.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Howard Zinn's version of history is much different from the history lessons we learned through our textbooks in high school and even college. As I read this book, I realized even more solidly how our history has been edited by people in power to paint a picture that fits their motives.

    <![CDATA[Consistently lauded for its lively, readable prose,  <em>A People's History of the United States</em> turns traditional textbook history on its head, as Howard Zinn infuses the often-submerged voices of blacks, women, American Indians, war resisters, and poor laborers of all nationalities into the narrative. <em>The Twentieth Century</em> uses the relevant chapters of that book as a starting point, expanding upon the story to provide a rich portrait of the United States from the jingoistic rise of Theodore Roosevelt to the Clinton presidency. If your last experience of American history was brought to you by junior-high-school textbooks--or even if you're a specialist--get ready for the other side of stories you may not even have heard. With its vivid descriptions of rarely noted events, <em>The Twentieth Century</em> is required reading for anyone who wants to take a fresh look at America's legacy as a world power.]]>
