Essay from the year 2010 in the subject History - America, grade: 1,0, , course: U.S. History: From World War II to Present, language: English, abstract: This essay addresses the following scenario: You are a staffer for NCHE (National Council on History Education). The Board of Trustees has directed NCHE staff to submit proposals for books that could provide the basis for a national conversation on American history. Preliminary discussions have narrowed the choices down to either Howard Zinn's 'A People's History of the United States' or Paul Johnson's 'A History of the American People'. The NCHE Board wants a recommendation from you. Your memo should summarize the different 'stories' told by each historian, comparing and contrasting them, and make a case for why you think one book would be a better choice than the other.
