Howard Zinn: A Young Peoples History of the United States

I see I've been censored lol

[rapiddominace]

BTW people's history is the most boring rag I've ever read.....way to take the fun and excitement out of history

[paplanner]

@rapiddominace I doubt you read the book, and if you opened it you obviously scanned it with your built in bias, so any opinion you offer is meaningless and should be ignored.

[rapiddominace]

What kid would actually pay attention to this boring crusty old guy

Howard Zinn's Book is actually very good and historically accurate. He however leaves cetian things out about history to promote his general agenda. (socialism) you should also read larry schwiekarts " a Patriots History" so you can get the full spectrum of american history. I will admit both authors make great points and support their own views through their writings.

I didn't know he was dead. I just discovered his book "A People's History of the United States" about two weeks ago, and I am really enjoying it, and being enlightened in many ways. I looked forward to more from him. Coming from someone who was a typical ultra-conservative, his book has dramatically changed my perspective of the past and the present. His was a life well lived.

Hearing this after his death and repeating, in his blunt, funny way the same way I look at history brings me to tears.

We need more historians like Zinn. Don't agree with his statements: see the honest passion and partisan position making him a 'game changer' for tens of thousands of students. My children have had his 'People's History..." as a primer from which to argue and disagree.

I see him as the Carl Sagan of American History. He'll be missed, unlike bobbleheads Limbaugh and O'Reilly.

@urbman29 Anti American and socialist because it tells the truth? Curing a time when the American government is totally corrupt and a captive of the ultra rich and capitalism is just legalized theft, it might be a good idea to open your mind a bit about the real history of the United States, not the sanitized version you propagandized with.

@paplanner My sophomore history teacher made our AP class read Zinn's book on the history of America. Its VERY opinionated based on political view.Sorry

R.I.P. Dr. Zinn. The world is a darker place than it was with you in it.
