Booknotes: [A People's History of the United States]

Howard Zinn discussed his book [A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present], published by Harper Perennial Library. The book is a non-traditional, social history of the United States. Professor Zinn looks at this history from the perspectives of American Indians, labor leaders, war resisters, and fugitive slaves, voices that have normally been omitted from traditional histories.
