Howard Zinn was a historian, playwright, and social activist. He was a shipyard worker and a bombardier with the U.S. Army Air Force in Europe during the Second World War before he went to college under the GI Bill and received his Ph.D. from Columbia University.
Zinn taught at Spelman College and Boston University, and was a visiting professor at the University of Paris and the University of Bologna. He received the Thomas Merton Award, the Eugene V. Debs Award, the Upton Sinclair Award, and the Lannan Literary Award. He lived in Auburndale, Massachusetts.

Here Zinn explains with great humor and passion how his teaching, his history and his activism are grounded in the stories of social movements-labor, civil rights, feminists, anti-war-which are usually left out or grossly distorted in mainstream history writing.</P>

评分谈起美国,很多人会想起 独立宣言,“life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness”,甚至将其看作民主的化身。这本书则让我们看到,今天的美国,是由鲜血与谎言造就的。 1492年,哥伦比亚发现新大陆,开始了对印第安人的屠杀。17世纪初,弗吉尼亚公司和五月花号来到...
评分首先,读这本书之前最好有着一些传统意义上的美国历史教育,如果对于美国历史一点了解都没有,建议还是首先去读些比较正统的美国通史教科书,比如说A People and a Nation (http://book.douban.com/subject/12020587/) Howard这本书也是有这些背景来读才会显得有趣,才会“...
