Review title: Dangerously Manipulative to the Uninformed
Product review: A reader must be very discerning with this review of American history. Though he presents many facts and events worth knowing about for their informational value, Howard Zinn is overtly naive and socialistic in his approach. Deliberately twisting the truth, as Zinn repeatedly accuses other historians and the US government of doing, he uses a stockpile of out-of-context and biased evidence to support his overly-sympathetic views. Though worth reading for its historical insight, a reader must be wary of Zinn's unctuous appeal to their emotional sense of injustice and, as with all history books, not believe everything to which he so glibly makes claim. In addition to this, I wish to add a personal comment. There is no such thing as "neighborly socialism" and by claiming so, Howard Zinn shows a profound misunderstanding of socialism, its ideals and its inevitable results.
