Overview

"Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States has sold more than 2.5 million copies. It is pushed by Hollywood celebrities, defended by university professors who know better, and assigned in high school and college classrooms to teach students that American history is nothing more than a litany of oppression, slavery, and exploitation. Zinn's history is popular, but it is also massively wrong. Scholar Mary Grabar exposes just how wrong in her stunning new book Debunking Howard Zinn, which demolishes Zinn's Marxist talking points that now dominate American education. In Debunking Howard Zinn, you'll learn, contra Zinn: How Columbus was not a genocidal maniac, and was, in fact, a defender of IndiansWhy the American Indians were not feminist-communist sexual revolutionaries ahead of their timeHow the United States was founded to protect liberty, not white males' ill-gotten wealthWhy Americans of the ""Greatest Generation"" were not the equivalent of Nazi war criminalsHow the Viet Cong were not well-meaning community leaders advocating for local self-ruleWhy the Black Panthers were not civil rights leadersGrabar also reveals Zinn's bag of dishonest rhetorical tricks: his slavish reliance on partisan history, explicit rejection of historical balance, and selective quotation of sources to make them say the exact opposite of what their authors intended. If you care about America's past--and our future--you need this book."

At long last we have a comprehensive critique of Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, an execrable work of pseudohistory, full of mistakes, lies, half-truths, and smears. -- Peter A. Coclanis, Albert R. Newsome Distinguished Professor of History at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill It's about time someone published a comprehensive answer to Howard Zinn's bestselling A People's History of the United States, which is the Mein Kampf of the Hate America Left... Mary Grabar has done Americans and the freedoms they have championed a great service by writing a definitive exposure of Zinn's treasonous life, along with a damning refutation of his dishonest, malignant, and ignorant work. -- David Horowitz, New York Times bestselling author
