Holy pignolia, this took me a long time to read. But it was worth it. Zinn takes you from Columbus's arrival in North America all the way up to the crazy (read: corrupt) 2000 presidential election, highlighting the stories that don't normally get told in history textbooks or mainstream media. It's a "people's history," so he tells Vietnam from the POV of the protesters, industrialism from the workers, slavery from the slaves, etc. I learned a lot of new (and disturbing) aspects of American history reading this book. Zinn's also my favorite kind of historian-- he's clearly excited about and invested in the subject, so he writes about it in a lively voice, using specific examples and anecdotes to make it real. History doesn't feel dead in his hands; it is very much alive and even now informing the choices we make as a country. That said, this book is unapologetically left-leaning (Zinn explains that since so much of what is already written leans the opposite direction, he doesn't feel the need to keep his book balanced), so not everyone will appreciate it. It also assumes a baseline of American history knowledge in many places, so it would be well coupled with additional resources to lay out some basic facts about certain time periods or events (like wars). I recommend reading this book alongside something a lot fluffier if you're going to go for the long haul. Otherwise, pick a chapter and read it alongside other books from/about that period and let them inform each other.
