Jim's Review
🐛
Zinn flips the script on everything you learned in high school history class. Whether you agree with every argument or not, this book will make you think — really think — about whose stories get told and whose get buried. Jim came away seeing American history in a completely different light. It's passionate, it's angry, and it's essential reading for anyone who wants the full picture. Four worms — a necessary provocation.
