I hear of Howard Zinn's passing yesterday on NPR, and interview from 2008. That sparked my interest in this book. Apparently it really brings out some quite polar views that seem to want to believe the United States, and its government, can do no wrong. I haven't read it yet, of course, but that's the gist from Amazon reviews. I've always had a strong feeling our (the US) government has been up to shady things...maybe this book will shed some light on that? Hope so.
