"A History of the American People" is an excellent book.

I sometimes wonder if liberals accidentally buy Paul's book instead of Howard Zinn's trash because of the similar titles.

Although Paul Johnson does manage to conflate CSA Gen Joseph Johnston with CSA Gen Albert Sidney Johnston. But then he is a Brit.

Paul Johnson’s history is a very good book and I heard today that Howard Zinn is history.

I'm reading that too.

I never thought about anyone confusing it with Zinn's crap, but you could be right.

Imagine the horor when they get to the end of the preface:

"They are all Americans to me: black, white, red, brown, yellow, thrown together by fate in the swirling maelstrom of history which has produced the most remarkable people the world has ever seen. I love them and salute them, and this is their story."
