A People's History of the United States CD

Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People’s History is the only volume to tell America’s story from the point of view of—and in the words of—America’s women, African-Americans, Native Americans, working poor, and immigrant laborers. Here we learn that many of our country’s greatest battles—childlabor laws, women’s rights, racial equality—were carried out at the grass roots level, against bloody resistance. Revised and updated with new chapters on Clinton’s presidency, the 2000 Election, and the “War on Terrorism,” A People’s History of the United States features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history.
