Howard Zinn’s A People’s Background of the United States has sold a lot more than 2.5 million copies. It is pressed by Hollywood celebrities, defended by college or university professors who know better, and assigned in high school and college classrooms to instruct students that American history is only a litany of oppression, slavery, and exploitation.

Zinn’s background is popular, nonetheless it can be massively wrong.

Scholar Mary Grabar exposes precisely how incorrect in her spectacular new book Debunking Howard Zinn, on the subject of Debunking Howard Zinn: Exposing the Fake History That Turned a Generation against America which demolishes Zinn’s Marxist talking points that now dominate American education.

In Debunking Howard Zinn, you’ll learn, contra Zinn:

How Columbus had not been a genocidal maniac, and was, actually, a defender of IndiansWhy the American Indians were not feminist-communist intimate revolutionaries before their timeHow the United States was founded to safeguard liberty, not white males’ ill-gotten wealthWhy Us citizens from the “Greatest Era” weren’t the same as Nazi battle criminalsHow the Viet Cong were not well-meaning community leaders advocating for regional self-ruleWhy the Dark Panthers were not civil rights leadersGrabar also reveals Zinn’s bag of dishonest rhetorical techniques: his slavish reliance on partisan history, explicit rejection of historical balance, and selective quotation of sources to make them say the precise reverse of what their authors intended. In the event that you care about America’s past-and our future-you need this book.
