A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn
This book is a comprehensive overview of American history from the perspective of the marginalized and underrepresented groups, rather than the typical focus on political elites. It covers a wide range of historical events and periods, including the discovery of the continent, the founding of the United States, slavery, the Civil War, and up to the modern era. The book challenges traditional narratives and provides a critical and thought-provoking look at the nation's past.
