Rating: - real history
Howard Zinn was one of my favorite professors at university. This book presents with unflinching candor events that really happened in our history. And he is never boring!
Rating: - Howard Zinn Treats Indians Fairly

Wake up people! Aren't you tired of being ... Read More

Everyone needs to take Zinn's magnum opus here for what it is --> It's no more fact or propaganda than what we were fed in elementary school.
The only fact we know about the past is that you can't trust any account of it. To borrow the setting of Plato's cave....all we see of history are shadows of the past on a wall, and each version is projected through a different lens and light source. It's safe to say that nothing we see of it accurately reflect the events....it's impossible. ... Read More
