Review title: History from view point of the masses and the victims.
Product review: History is usually written by the conquerors, rulers and powerful and most history books are written from the point of view or favoring these entities whether along economic, race or political lines.This book was a great read and I learnt a lot about the early days of the colonies in the new world, the USA and the harsh treatment meted out to the indigenous peoples and slaves.Mr. Zinn comes across as left leaning but that is OK as long as the reader remains objective in his or her analysis.This is a long book and sometimes can get overwhelming with the amount of incidents of the various movements mentioned in this book. That's why the 4 stars.Overall a great read if you're a history buff or would like to get a different perspective which is not available in most books available to our young ones and students in high schools and colleges and also if you want to be educated on how the US foreign and economic policy affects the world.
