Debunking Howard Zinn

Exposing the Fake History That Turned a Generation Against America

By: Mary Grabar

Narrated by: Pam Ward

Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States has sold over 2.5 million copies and is still required reading in some high school and college classrooms. But its polemic rewriting of American history as a story of oppression is an agenda-driven fairy tale that has no place in academia. In Debunking Howard Zinn, Mary Grabar debunks Howard Zinn’s lies and traces the damage his mega-bestseller has done to American education, culture, and politics.

Must read.

Every American should read this if only to hear another view. It is amazing how much of Zinn is accepted without question.

Well researched

This well researched and well written book clearly makes the case exposing that author Howard Zinn as plainly a liar.

Setting the Record Straight

I listened to Zinn's, People, and then to Grabar's rebuttal. Mary Grabar work exposes Zinn's craftiness for what it is: an outright skew of the facts to fit his version of American history. Zinn as an historian broke so many rules of what most historians take to present sound research, that it's hard to believe that his book is even deemed historical. All that is basically correct in Zinn is that it is in the right chronological order. So if you want to read a book that exposes the half truths, plagiarism, and bent view of Zinn, listen to Mary Garbar's presentation. Only criticism I have of Garbar is her neglect of real mention in regard to our war with Mexico, Spain, and the Reagan/Bush era. Her research on Vietnam and Zinn's falsehoods is the highlight of the book.

Thank God

Some one finally pointed out the utter BS that has been infiltrated into American education and then on to society by the insidious absolute trash spewed by Howard Zinn. Pity that probably 2 generations of American students have been corrupted by his perverse socialist centric rah rah false American history that infiltrating our curriculum. Bill Ayers was right ..the way to defeat American is to take control of the education structure. Unless we who know and can appreciate the idea that is the US system finally speak up en mass..our cultural identity is headed to the trash heap. Maybe this book can become required reading in the US.

It's always good to read a critique

I think this book does a great job if speaking to the points in howard Zinn's book but falls in certain places by bias in the same way as Zinn. I would still recommend this book highly.
