A People's History of the United States
 A People's History of the United States is a 1980 non-fiction book by American historian and political scientist Howard Zinn. In the book Zinn seeks to present American history through the eyes of the common people rather than political and economic elites. A People's History has been assigned as reading in many high schools and colleges across the United States. It has also resulted in a change in the focus of historical work which now includes stories that previously were ignored.
