This book is great. Its easy to read, and easy to follow along to. It is just like reading an article that my teacher would give me. There is so much detail and information that is given, its a great way to learn about America's history.

In this book, Zinn talks about all of the obstacles that the US has overcome. He talks about slavery, and then about the segregation of the Japanese, along with many other obstacles that America has overcome.
