Description: Known for its lively clear prose as well as its scholarly research, it is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of - and in the words of - America's women, factory workers, African Americans, Native Americans, working poor, and immigrant laborers.

Revised and expanded, with two new chapters covering Clinton's presidency, the 2000 Election, and the so-called "War on Terrorism", it features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history.

Review(s): "Historians may well view it as a step toward a coherent new version of American history." - Eric Foner, New York Times Book Review

"Zinn has written a brilliant and moving history of the American people from the point of view of those who have been exploited politically and economically and whose plight has been largely omitted from most histories... the book is an excellent antidote to establishment history. Seldom have quotations been so effectively used; the stories of blacks, women, Indians, and poor laborers of all nationalities are told in their own words. While the book is precise enough to please specialists, it should satisfy any adult reader." - Library Journal
