In many ways, this is not my typical five-star review. The People's History of the United States is tedious, repetitive, and an overall slog to get through. Though so much of the information provided is wholly interesting, some of the Zinn's examples are merely empty fodder and these cause the alrea...

One late night, having been sucked into a dead end conversation with a drunk old man, it came out that I had studied history in college and that I had focused on Irish history. "Irish history!?," he shouted. "Why there wouldn't be any Irish history without the English!" The "great man" theory o...

I was assigned this work for my introduction to political science course in college. I have to admit I groaned at the very title when I saw it on the syllabus, suspecting what I was in for. And yeah, this book was about what I expected--very much a very hard left wing--no, Marxist interpretation of ...

It has to go back to the library; someone else is waiting for it. Honestly, I don't know if I'll ever bother to get it back and finish it. Capitalism has me among its discontents.
