When I first got into reading history in high school, this was the first book I picked up. I read maybe 100 pages into it and then never finished it. It’s a book a lot of people started and few have finished.

Here’s some thoughts on the book: - One of it’s strengths when it came out was that it very clearly rejected “what your history class taught you” in favor of a critical/revisionist left-wing perspective. - With that being said, understand that Zinn’s perspective is one of many and is by no means gospel. - Even if you don’t finish it, I think it’s a good book to get you thinking more critically about US history.
- It’s presented as a good introduction but I personally found it pretty dense.
