HOWARD ZINN (RIP): “Holy Wars”

Anthony Gregory: The great leftist revisionist historian has passed away at 87. Zinn taught a couple generations of young people to question their history teachers and the civic religion of US governmental supremacy. While he was a bit of a pinko on labor issues, he was courageous and consistent in his condemnation of the worst thing the state does: murder innocent people in large numbers.

(Howard Zinn was an American historian, social critic, and activist. He is best known as author of the best-seller A People’s History of the United States. He spoke at Boston University on November 11, on the subject of American “Holy Wars.”)
