This is genius by Zinn--American history in graphic novel format for the illiterate. Note that this gem is published by Holt, one of the leading textbook publishers in the United States. Now all the children who are illiterate can look at the pictures and also be indoctrinated. I bet this comic book will be mass distributed in prisons, too.

Not every lib-in-training can go to Columbia for the big ticket indoctrination.

A People's History of the United States is a book that should be read by every American, right wing, left wing, or right down the middle. It isn't a liberal book at all - in fact, democrats were not even a political party in those days. They didn't even exist.

Zinn tells a story that is tough to hear but we must, as a nation, understand exactly where we come from, if only so we do not repeat the mistakes of our past. It's sad but true: our nation, and the nation of Australia, have a very dark past, rooted in slavery & genocide in the name of progress. Anyone out there who disagrees does not truly understand our history. If you consider yourself a true intelligent American, you should read this book.

I want a time machine so that I can put Howard Zinn into the first wave in the invasion of Japan (without the use of nuclear weapons of course). But then, if I know Howard, he would start shooting at his fellow Americans.
