5.0 out of 5 stars Great ideas for the classroom!, January 17, 2007
Zinn is focused on getting the historical information correct, and explaining why we learned it another way. He presents the side of history that is untold, but honest. TRUTH is the core of this book. It's getting it right and learning from our past so we don't make the same mistakes. Zinn does a great job at this. The section on different teaching techniques is also wonderful for those teachers who get tired of doing the same thing in their lessons. Teacher's must remember that there is more than just one learning style, and it's important not to sxclude those students who learn in different ways. I would recommend this book to any history teacher or anyone just interested in American history!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, September 21, 2008
By T. Myers (California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a pretty typical history book. Its pretty easy to read and kinda goes into things that other books would leave out. I bought it for a class and havent read that much but it seems to be better than the other book we have to read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Teachers Beware!, August 5, 2007
If you are an instructor and intend to use the teaching edition as an aid, be prepared to do lots of legwork yourself. At the end of each chapter there are exercises in the form of questions, concrete to abstract, that you can use. However, no suggested answers are provided. In my mind, when I purchase a teaching addition, there is an implication that the heavy lifting will be done by the authors. That's what they get paid for. The teaching edition is a disappointment and a ripoff considering the fact that I had already purchased an edition of the Zinn book.
