A couple of years ago, I made a plan to begin a chapter-by-chapter review of Howard Zinn’s extremely popular but extremely controversial book, A People’s History of the United States, first published in 1980. I’d like to get back to this, if I can make some time for it and if people are interested. Here’s my introductory post for the project. The next installment, on Chapter 1, will drop next Monday morning.

MakingHistory
Making History is the top-level thing I do, as a historian, teacher, and writer. I create content, based on either original primary research or to present the findings of other historians to my students. This channel will cover several topics I am researching or teaching, and reflections on the ways that history helps us understand our current world.
