"A history of the United States told from the point of view of workers, farmers, slaves and indigenous people." -- From www.biblio.com
"This is the true, exciting, and sometimes tragic story of plain Americans--the people who cleared the land, turned the ground, built the factories, and struggled hard for existence and happiness. It is also the story of big business and the conflict between men and monopoly. We, the People tells the tale of why America grew. In this revised and enlarged edition, the author adds a brilliant section on the from 1932 up to the present. His analysis of this period is lucid and cool. The facts are massed to show that the Roosevelt reforms were a natural outgrowth of American traditions and doctrine; that they constituted not an 'economic revolution' but only a modest advance in our social thinking." -- From the book jacket.
