<p><b>THE CLASSIC NATIONAL BESTSELLER</b></p><p><b>"A wonderful, splendid book—a book that should be read by every American, student or otherwise,</b> <b>who wants to understand his country, its true history, and its hope for the future." —Howard Fast</b></p><p><b>In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present this</b> <b>library of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. <i>A People’s History of the United States</i>,</b> <b>the brilliant national bestseller by historian Howard Zinn, chronicles American history from the</b> <b>bottom up, throwing out the official narrative taught in schools—with its emphasis on great men in</b> <b>high places—to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace.</b></p><p>Known for its lively, clear prose and scholarly research, <i>A People's History of the United States</i>, is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of—and in the words of—America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles—the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality—were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance.</p><p>Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, <i>A People's History of the United States</i> features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. This edition also includes an introduction by Anthony Arnove, who wrote, directed, and produced <i>The People Speak</i> with Zinn and who coauthored <i>Voices of a People’s History of the United States</i>.</p><p></p><ul><li><b>A BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE WITH FLAPS:</b> Featuring French flaps and a unique vivid cover design, each book in the collection is published as a deluxe trade paperback that is a part of a stunning series look.</li><li
