He was fearless and worked hard to remind Americans of unpleasantries we often had rather not consider.<br /><br />Of course his work is anathema to our 'conservative' friends as Zinn was a champion of the underdog and a fierce critic of American exceptionalism in all it's myriad of expression.<br /><br />I recommend a 'A People's History of the United States' to anyone who is seriously interested in learning just who we are as a nation and how we got here. It's a profoundly refreshing work and a wonderful antidote to the endless myths of the Founding Fathers, 'taming the west, manifest destiny, etc. etc. which have distorted our politics and our view of our role in the world since the founding of the republic. <br /><br />A thoughtful, humble man who will be missed in this age of the Tea Bagger, talk radio, 24/7 'news' and conservative victimhood.<br /><br />Though in all fairness he was one of the dullest public speakers I've ever heard. But that's a minor quibble.<br /><br />Adios Howard.<br /><br />Good work.Arthurstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083956773592540646noreply@blogger.com
