"A beautiful example of people's history" is what Howard Zinn calls HARVEY WASSERMAN'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. This wildly readable, much-loved cult classic has thrilled general readers and graced high school and college courses since 1972. Robber Barons, farmers, workers and Bohemian hippies are the heroes and heroines, villains and imperialists of this uniquely compelling, bottom-up and fully footnoted tale of how the US transformed from a farm-based society to a world power. Rolling Stone calls this book "enjoyable to read" and Dr. Benjamin Spock called it "riveting history." "Harvey Wasserman is truly an original," adds Studs Terkel. There is no other history of the US like this one. Must reading for all who love and teach our national story. Available through Ingram Book Company or order online at www.harveywasserman.com.Wasserman, Harvey is the author of 'HARVEY WASSERMAN'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES', published 2004 under ISBN 9780975340202 and ISBN 0975340204.
