I have heard nothing but frightening things about this book. History “stories” about the evil United States.
Please beware that this book is an opinion, and not factual. Research History for yourself and research this author and his political views.

I wish I had read the reviews before wasting my money on this piece of socialistic garbage! In addition to being incredibly biased against just about everything in our countries history it is boring to boot.

I had the misfortune of being forced to read parts of this book in school, and I couldn’t stand it. All this guy does is complain about the past. He seems to think that if we all start feeling guilty about things people we’ve never even met did hundreds of years ago, the world will be a better place. Howard Zinn needs to focus on what’s going on around him, not what happened in the past and NOBODY GIVES A RAT’S ASS ABOUT.

Howard Zinn sounds a bit like my sister when she returned from getting “educated” at UC Berkeley. INSANE.

MATT DAMON AND OTHER LEFTIE AIR-HEADS MAY CONSIDER HOWARD ZINN A HISTORIAN, BUT IN REALITY HE WAS A SOCIALIST WHO SUCCEEDED IN HAVING THIS BOOK BECOME REQUIRED READING IN SOME PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES (WITH HELP FROM AGING HIPPIE EDUCATORS). IN THEIR UNIVERSE, THE U.S. IS AN IMPERIALIST AGGRESSOR AND THE CAUSE OF ALL THE WORLD’S ILLS. THIS IS WHAT ZINN’S BOOK IS REALLY ABOUT AND THIS PREMISE, WHEN FOISTED ON UNSUPECTING STUDENTS ,OR THEIR PARENTS, SHOULD BE REBUKED. WHY SHOULD LEFT-WING PROPROGANDA BE ALLOWED TO GO UNCHALLANGED?
