Consider A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn. Recommended by 12 sources.

“This is a long, opinionated narrative that retells U.S. history from the perspectives of workers, Indigenous peoples, enslaved people, and activists. Reading it feels like listening to a single, sustained counter-narrative: useful for collecting vivid episodes, alternative framings, and rhetorical ballast for civic arguments. Its main limitation is a steady polemical tone and selective emphasis — preference for anecdote over exhaustive sourcing — which can feel repetitive or one-sided for readers who want cautious synthesis or multiple equally weighted perspectives.”
