"Not to be written off as a leftist history of the United States. What makes this book incredible is that it doesn't mention what goes on in basic highschool textbooks, and focuses on the stories of movements that only get passing mention in earlier versions of history (i.e. the labor movement). It is a suprisingly riveting read. His chapter on the Vietnam war should be required reading for everyone. "
