About the author

Howard Zinn was an American historian, playwright, philosopher, socialist intellectual and World War II veteran. He was chair of the history and social sciences department at Spelman College, and a political science professor at Boston University. Zinn wrote more than 20 books, including his best-selling and influential A People's History of the United States in 1980. In 2007, he published a version of it for younger readers, A Young People's History of the United States.

Zinn described himself as "something of an anarchist, something of a socialist. Maybe a democratic socialist." He wrote extensively about the civil rights movement, the anti-war movement and labor history of the United States. His memoir, You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train (Beacon Press, 1994), was also the title of a 2004 documentary about Zinn's life and work. Zinn died of a heart attack in 2010, at the age of 87.

Reviews

[Najjar · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting, easy to read, and I recommend it for everyone. Draws a vivid portrait of US politics.

It missed some major changes in US, such as the debauchery that started in 1960s. Also Hollywood's impact is as if nonexistent.

جالب و خوانا. برای همه توصیه می‌شود. تصویری روشن اؤ سياست آمریکایی از سال 1776 تا 2000 میلادی ترسیم می کند.

نویسنده بعضی تغییرات عمده در آمریکا را نادیده گرفت، مانند فسق وفجوری که در 1960s آغاز شده و روز به روز دارد جامعه را به چالش می‌کشد، همچنین تاثیر هالیوود انگار وجود ندارد.
