Reddit reviews The Twentieth Century: A People's History

I was fortunate enough to take my US history classes with Mickey Huff who writes Project Censored. His intro to the class was along the lines of "I'm here to offer you a different perspective to what's routinely taught" and he did so under the guise of balance.

The books we read were:
-The Untold History of the United States
-Stories that Changed America
-[The Twentieth Century](

All these books were such great reads, and even though we were only assigned a few chapters from each, I found myself reading all of them in entirety. They provide such an eclectic source of stories and accounts of the historical badassary of the working class and left me actually feeling proud of being an American. Our ancestors did a lot to stick it to the man and get us things like weekends, safe work environments and livable wages and I really felt a connection to radicals of the past, something I never got from the whitewashed history I had been told prior.

Fuck your textbooks and impress the class with a broader perspective!
