| Summary |
Zinn tells America's story from the point of view of its women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, working poor, and immigrant laborers. Here we learn that many of our country's greatest battles, labor laws, women's rights, racial equality, were carried out at the grassroots level, against steel-willed resistance. |
