Howard Zinn was my first exposure to leftist politics back when I was in high school. While I’ve definitely grown as a person and my thought has evolved, and I’m more critical of Zinn than I used to be, I still love his style and his commitment to making the world a better place. One of the great American historians and anti-war activists, he still provides a great foundation for thinking critically about history and how to use that criticism productively in the real world.
