History
People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn
This book is a favorite among college students and among history buffs everywhere. Howard Zinn's perspective on history and government is a real eye opener. Every reader of this classic wonders why so much is omitted the first time around. This book explains why history is so dry in school; all the good stuff was taken out!
