Howard Zinn

Growing up you hear about the heroic deads of past explorers. The land they found, the feats they conquered but who ever tells the story of the people they killed? The native groups they worked so hard, that the group went to extinction? The fame they stole from those that deserve it? there aren't to many out there that tell that side of the story, the loser side, and thats why I like howard zinn's writing. It shows you another point a view. One you dont get to read about in your text book. It is a side some people have tried to get you forget. Though it is said to read how people you grew up believe as being one of the greatest men are nothing more than a killer who takes advantage of others. Its is what happened though or at least part of what happened and people whould not remain ignorant to this and so I like the work of Howard Zinn. He tells the harsh truth and if not completely true its still shines light on another side that you now have to take in to account.
