First of all, this has nothing to do with "A people's history of the US". This is not a coherent study, and it is far from compelling.

The first part, about pre-history is totally generic and boring. The same can be said about the period of the industrial revolution. Better time could be spent revising other episodes, and there are incomprehensible gaps, particularly the absense of the importance of the portuguese colonization.

Furthermore, a marxist reading of history should be dynamic, something this book is very far from being.
