A Young People's History of the United States: Columbus to the War on Terror by Howard Zinn

4.0

Nice overview of social movements in the US and government actions that have oppressed poor, non-White folks, women, etc. Not a standalone history book as it paints a picture with broad strokes and doesn't give a lot of details, but a nice complement to more "traditional" history textbooks. One day I will read the regular version of this book, but this was a nice, basic intro for me, coming out of grad school with an overwhelmed brain.
