I want to find a book that is an easy way to learn about American history. I want to be able to learn about the important events that happened in our history.
The best book ever written on US history is "People’s History of the United States" by Howard Zinn. I read it back in high school, and it made me want to be a historian.
What’s great about it it that it’s a bottom-up history of the US, told from the point of view of ordinary people: the native Americans, workers, immigrants, rather than all Presidents all the time.
