    The labor history definitely runs deeper than what Zinn covers, but Zinn's book is about as good of a starting point as you're going to get. It covers a very broad range of social struggles through out US history, but this limits its ability to dive too deep into any particular struggle. Still, it dives much deeper than a lot of the pablum that gets published about this country, and does a good job of connecting them - which is harder to pull off in any particularly focused book.

      Yes - sorry my intention for “and more” is about more than just labor history - any book of that scope is necessarily a survey of events.
