So far People's reads like the author has a very leftist perspective. Opressor and opressed. He made a valid point tho, that most history is from the perspective of the leaders, the decision makers of history and less from the perspective of the people who had to live through those decisions. I'm very curious how accurate the info will be but I'm sure it will be enlightening regardless. I was looking for both titles at a used book store and just found the one. Guess I'll find it when I need to.
