*Bumping* a good article.
By the way, has anyone read the New Criterion piece that he links to? It’s subscriber only, or you can purchase it. I’m thinking if it does a thorough job of picking apart A People’s History it might be worth it.

The City of Newton (Massachusetts) website lists a Howard Zinn as owning a two unit condo building in the city with an assessed value of $703,000.I can't be sure that this is the same Howard zinn but I think it's likely to be (it's not a coomon name).
If it's him all I can say is that there are millions and millions of victims of our oppressive economic system who don't own residential real estate that's worth 1/10th of that.
Sounds like yet another phony limousine liberal.

I worshiped the guy when I was a liberal. He's a persuasive writer, but, as he himself admits, he selectively edits and interprets the facts in order to "serve man". And by man, he means Marxism.
My Rx for Zinn poisoning: the great historical works written by Dr. Warren Carroll, founder of Christendom University. Carroll writes history as a sweeping, historical epic, with warts and all but from a Catholic perspective. Reading Dr. Carroll is an antidote to the Liberal and Revolutionary poison that the Powers That Be have been pushing as history for the last couple of centuries.
