Howard Zinn. A People's History of the United States: From 1492 to the Present Day. Renowned American historian Howard Zinn gives his own, much different from most traditional views, view of the most important events in US history from colonial times to the beginning of the 21st century. The author has created an unusually bright, lively story of life and the struggle for the survival and dignity of disadvantaged social groups, full of interesting facts. The true heroes of G. Zinn's "A People's History of the United States" turned out to be millions of ordinary Americans. Published in 1980 and reprinted several times, this book has been translated into Russian for the first time, and will certainly attract the attention of not only professional historians, sociologists and political scientists, but also everyone who are interested in the history of the United States.
