It takes time to read a book like this, because you keep going back to re-read some of the parts. Excellently resourced. I can see why some politicians and flag-wearers don't want this book in school libraries. It points out that things haven't changed all that much throughout political history.

Perhaps not textbook quality but a well-researched, cited compilation of history from original documents and transcriptions. Zinn offers interesting tidbits, such as: ". . .About 10 percent of the white population. . . owned nearly half the wealth of the country and held as slaves one-seventh of the country's people." -- a statistic that we would think more common to current circumstances.
