[quote=Anonymous]David McCullough can be a little like rise and fall of third reich. For example he describes the weather etc. but still a good read. I would recommend Red China Blues. By Jan Wong Written by a Chinese Canadien student who studied in Chine during the Mao Zedong cultural revolution up to her account of the Tianamen Square Massacre. I didn't know anything about china before picking up this book and I was riveted. A lot of people recommend a people's history of the United States by Howard zinn. I have never read it. I would also personally recommend Lakota Woman by Mary crow dog a personal account of the American Indian Mvement covering the takeover of the US Bureau of Indian affairs building in DC. A few more Lies my teacher told me: everything your american history teacher got wrong by James loewen Gideon's Trumpet by Anthony Lewis about the back story leading to the Supreme Court decision that all criminal defendants are entitled to an attorney [/quote]
