Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace.

Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers.As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance.Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history.

Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.

Conflict and co-operation are key features of US-European relations throughout the twentieth century.

The United States and Europe in the Twentieth Century

looks at the relationship from the growth of the United States as a world power, to the so-called uni-polar moment at the end of the Cold War. The book examines:

* The traditions of United States foreign relations

* Relations up to and between the First World War and the Second World War

* The United States and Europe during the Cold War

* Washington and West European integration

* The growing influence of the United States in Europe

Throughout the book the author emphasises that as well as significant co-operation and shared interests, there have also been a number of tensions that have characterised the relationship. The book shows how US national values and interests have been at the forefront of the transatlantic relationship and have directed the shape and direction of Europe throughout the twentieth century.

Written in an engaging and accessible manner, the US and Europe in the Twentieth Century will be invaluable reading for students of American and European history and politics.

David Ryan is a Principle Lecturer in the Department of Historical and International Studies at De Montfort University.
