## Description

A Young People's History of the United States [Howard Zinn, Rebecca Stefoff, Jeff Zinn] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. A Young People's History of the United States

Review: Good version for youth - Had to read the unabridged version in high school AP US history. Bought this version for my kids and it’s easier to understand and seems like a pretty good alternative to a textbook. I do wish there were more stories that are overlooked in textbooks. But it’s a good beginning.
Review: Howard Zinn, an Eternal Laureate For Truth - We homeschool and my now 10yo son has never been much for academics; put an erector set, a bucket of LEGO or wooden models in front of him and he's suddenly an engineer - just don't ask him to draw you a picture, or write ANYTHING...but say,"bedtime!" and he's off like a shot to the toothbrush and the nightly read. Since utero, I've been reading to him nightly for as long as he wants and we were on no-graphics chapter books by 4. Some he retains, he loves; others he hates and won't ever let me forget (heavens forbid I try to trick him with something more my speed - curtains for Mama;-). PHotUS is compulsory reading in my peer group, so when I learned about this youth-friendly adaptation, neatly condensed but lacking no important - vital, sometimes discomforting but FACTUAL - bits of history, I barely blinked at pushing it to the front of the nightly queue. I explained that, "this is homework, but it is very interesting and sometimes so fantastic that it will sound like a Grimm tale," and was met with some protestation, but I knew that the Zinn estate would never approve something that didn't at least run laterally to the grown-up version and I persevered. At the risk of going on and on, I'll wrap it up: He openly and accurately scoffs at "Columbus Day", politely setting anyone straight on what he now o owe to be the real story. He asked me how to spell "neutral" during computer time so that he might watch Zinn's 2004 biopic (which is held back by the parent filter on the tube, of course); he wept when he learned of slavery, he has a good grasp on Reconstruction, suffrage, and some drips of economics that I don't even claim to fully understand. Recently we watched the People Speak together and I've never been more proud in my life. Look, I went on and on anyway...he plays video games, too. Thanks to Rebecca Stefoff for such a concise, respectful and "entertaining" adaptation of our True History. I couldn't have gotten this far without you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The unbiased history TRUTH of the United States of America!
*by .***N on January 4, 2018*

The most accurate TRUTH I have ever read about the true history of the United States of America. I demand that the president of the United States of America immediately declare an Executive Order that all history books across America in all public, all private and all religious schools in America be corrected and rewritten to include the true unbiased history of the United States of America. And that all educators (parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc.) and teachers be reeducated to responsibly instruct and teach the youth and people of America about their true honest history. With the truth of the United States of America at hand, The Constitution of The United States of America "We the People" written by and agreed upon by the Founding Fathers in Philadelphia in 1789, will have an opportunity to make America a great nation for the very first time. God of your understanding bless America.
