schreibe says: His most famous book is: "A People’s History Of the United States."....by Howard Zinn. If you are looking for a history book with the usual "Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492"...etc. etc. , then you won't like this book! I'd never heard of howard Zinn untill I came upon this article by him. Its too big to pop now but a good read anyway I read Zinn's work in college. He's a fantastic historian and not only tells history as it happened but backs it up with tons of primary sources for you to make up your own mind with. Deepti, and ericskiff I checked out the article on Zinn. Was a good one. I read his book "A People's History Of The United States" a few years ago. I hadn't heard of him before that. I might do another "clip" about that article. Seems like as soon as you criticize anything about this country there are those who think you are not patriotic. I don't at all understand that way of thinking. This is certainly a great country, but it needs history and an honest evaluation to keep it great. This article makes some good points. |
