*Features* Cover Type: Paperback with 408 pages Published by: University of Illinois Press Edition: 2nd Edition February 1, 1990 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0252061225 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0252061226 Book Dimensions: 8 x 5.4 x 0.9 inches Weighs: 1 pounds *Reader Reviews* Howard Zinn tackles the biases of historians in this important book. His thesis, which he explores with case after case, is that historians employ a double-standard with regard to covering history, basically serving a propagandistic role in our society, camouflaging the bad deeds of business and government, even as they claim to be objective and neutral outsiders. It's a similar argument that's made with the media, and no less important here. He argues persuasively (and thoroughly) for a radical approach to history, changing the role of historian to sideline cheerleader for the status quo to active participant in true social change. Because this book deals with a lot of history, it may be of limited interest to folks who aren't already into history, hence the four-star rating. But for anybody who does find history interesting, I strongly recommend it. Comment \| \| (Report this) Back To Top
