Book Description
Many of us were put off history by the dry and dreary way it was taught at school. Back then -~The Origins of the Industrial Revolution' somehow seemed less compelling than the chance to test the bold claim on Timothy Johnson's -~Shatterproof' ruler.But here at last is a chance to have a good laugh and learn all that stuff you feel you really ought to know by now... In this -~Horrible History for Grown Ups' you can read how Anglo-Saxon liberals struggled to be positive about immigration; -~Look I think we have to try and respect the religious customs of our new Viking friends -" oi, he's nicked my bloody ox!'Discover how England's peculiar class system was established by some snobby French nobles whose posh descendents still have wine cellars and second homes in the Dordogne today. And explore the complex socio-economic reasons why Britain's kings were the first in Europe to be brought to heel; (because the Stuarts were such a useless bunch of untalented, incompetent, arrogant, upper-class thickoes that Parliament didn't have much choice.) A book about then that is also incisive and illuminating about now, -~2000 Years of Upper Class Idiots in Charge', is an hilarious, informative and cantankerous journey through Britain' fascinating and bizarre history.As entertaining as a witch burning, and a lot more laughs.

Excerpt from A Brief and Impartial History of the Life and Actions of Andrew Jackson: President of the United States It may be set down as almost a miracle, that he found no lawyer Settled in 'nashville, where he first set up his staff of rest. Consequently he was welcomed with a shower of briefs, and the very morning succeeding his arrival he issued no less than seventy writs. His presence soon became a terror to the debtors in the place, of whom the number was not small, and he was consequently involved in a great many broils, through which his native energy carried him with more credit to his courage than to his discretion. In 1789, Mr. Jackson formed an acquaintance that was to have a powerful influence on his future reputation and happiness. We would fain pass over this matter in silence, in mercy to him, as major Eaton has done, were it consistent with the duty of a biographer. As it is, we shall merely detail the facts relating to this connexion, without comment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Brief and Impartial History of the Puritans; Representing Their Principles and Sufferings ... by the Author of the Serious and Earnest Address to Protestant Dissenters
Author: A People's History of the United States
Author: Howard ZinnPublisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 9780060528423
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 764
Book Description
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.
