What do you think of Daniel Sjursen, if you have seen his "a true history of the United States"

True. That's why I really love the revisioning history series from Beacon. Zinn's work is just the beginning.

Thank you. There have been so many next level books since him, like disabled history of the US, queer history of the US, AA and Latinx, indigenous people, the whole revisioning series from Beacon. So for me he was kind of my gateway drug I think. Agree you can't stop with him, must go deeper.

I would really like to know more about what you mean with this! I've always been a fan of Howard Zinn, do I need to know more?

Well, with the quote marks, you're sort of saying *this phrase is…* so I would allow it. (The English language is ours to mess with.) Also exactly correct sentiment.
