Review title: Slanted History, Untold Stories
Product review: The concept of following history through the eyes of "the downtrodden" is a noble one, and the book does a decent enough job of it while dispelling some of the mythology and disinformation about America's foundations. But Zinn is overly sympathetic to the motives and ideologies of various movements in America, particularly communists and their sympathizers. It's as if he doesn't realize (or more likely, chooses not to) that for many of them the plight of "the worker" was so much cover for their own power grab. The book is a counterbalance to more pro-European historical texts but has its own problems with portraying "reality".
