Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Being a patriotic American and amateur historian, I was wary of the book as it came recommended to me by an anarchist friend of mine. But, being fair and trying to see all points of view on subjects, I told him I would read it. I bought a copy on Amazon which arrived very much highlighted within, but no matter. The book was pretty much what I expected and most of it I was already aware of through my independent studies and reading of history. Nothing positive is written here so it is nowhere near a "complete" picture of history. If you are looking for justification of being a victim of society and government, this book might be for you. If you want to stay hung up on all of the injustices that have occurred in the past instead of trying to be appreciative of what opportunities you have right now before you, then this book may be for you. If you are a Communist, this book may be for you. The fact is, the US has made great strides over time in trying to correct injustices of the past so that people can make the most of their lives today. I don't think much of Howard Zinn's conclusions, agenda or goals in writing his versions of history. I fear that millions of our young have been brainwashed by Zinn's drivel. I can't believe that something like this would be required reading in any learning institution. I much rather prefer Larry Schweikart's follow up to this book, "A Patriot's History of the United States".
