Review of "A People's History of The United States 1492- Present" on 'Goodreads'

As stated in the preface, this is not an standard history book. It gives the story from a workers perspective. In a way, it is enlightening . But some times it gets too difficult to bear all the sadness. If this book did not inspired the 1% slogans, certainly in line with them.
