About this listen

Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States has sold over 2.5 million copies and is still required reading in some high school and college classrooms. But its polemic rewriting of American history as a story of oppression is an agenda-driven fairy tale that has no place in academia. In Debunking Howard Zinn, Mary Grabar debunks Howard Zinn’s lies and traces the damage his mega-bestseller has done to American education, culture, and politics.

An Interesting analysis of a leftist staple

Having been taught the negative history of Western Civilisation in University and having been taught the positive history of Western Civilisation in Primary/Senior School this book confirmed and indeed challenged my opinion on Western Civilisation. My education has been a mixture of liberal, progressive and conservative influences thus ensuring I am well balanced as to an analysis of the world.

I have yet to read a People's History of the United States but having read "Debunking Howard Zinn" when that time comes I will be able to apply dialectial thinking to that process.

Although it is important to publish sources that challenge conventional thinking it is also equally important to understand that historians have a bias. That Historians will craft a narrative to fit their agenda regardless of whether they are part of the left-right matrix or exist outside of it.
