"It’s one of the best-selling history books, a controversial tome that ignited the political consciousness of generations of young people. Taught in high schools across the nation and in some college survey courses, Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States’’ offers an activist’s perspective on history, from the founding of America to the war on terrorism."

Anyone Read it? I see it's available at Amazon for $9.99...
I'm well into it, and find it fascinating. It is distressing however to see the same justifications for war and theft being used today as were used when the American Indians and the Mexicans were robbed of their lands.

Regards, Alex
