I have nothing but scary things heard about this book. History of “stories” about the U.S. It is time to make sure that this book is an opinion, not fact. Search history for themselves and research of the author and his political views. Rating: 1 / 5

I wish I had read the reviews before wasting my money on this piece of junk Socialists! Besides the incredible against almost everything biased in the history of our country, it is boring to boot. Rating: 1 / 5

Matt Damon and other air left headers can Howard Zinn, a historian, but in reality the view he was a socialist who managed to have this book, has required reading in some schools and universities (with the help of aging EDUCATOR HIPPIE). In their world, the U.S. imperialist aggressors and the cause of all evil in the world. WHAT BOOK ZINN is really about, and this premise WHEN imposed UNSUPECTING students or their parents should be reprimanded. WHY PROPROGANDA left UNCHALLANGED let go? Rating: 1 / 5

I had forced the misfortune to read parts of this book in school, and I could not stand it. All this does is complain about that guy from the past. He seems to believe that if we all start to feel guilty, what be the people we have never met hundreds of years the world a better place. Howard Zinn need to focus what happens around him, not what happened in the past and no one gives a rat’s ass. Rating: 1 / 5

Howard Zinn sounds a bit like my sister when she came back to get “educated” at UC Berkeley. Fool. Rating: 1 / 5
