✦ Synopsis

Howard Zinns A Peoples 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.

Zinns 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 Zinns Marxist talking points that now dominate American education.

In Debunking Howard Zinn , youll learn, contra Zinn:

• How Columbus was not a genocidal maniac, and was, in fact, a defender of Indians

• Why the American Indians were not feminist-communist sexual revolutionaries ahead of their time

• How the United States was founded to protect liberty, not white males ill-gotten wealth

• Why Americans of the Greatest Generation were not the equivalent of Nazi war criminals

• How the Viet Cong were not well-meaning community leaders advocating for local self-rule

• Why the Black Panthers were not civil rights leaders

Grabar also reveals Zinns 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 Americas pastand our futureyou need this book.

Review

Its about time someone published a comprehensive answer to Howard Zinns bestselling A Peoples History of the United States, which isthe 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 Zinns treasonous life, along with a damning refutation of his dishonest, malignant, and ignorant work. (David Horowitz founder of Students for Academic Freedom and the David Horowitz Freedom Center)

At long lastwe have a comprehensive critique of Howard Zinns A Peoples 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)

Mary Grabar has produced a devastating analysis of the lies, plagiarism, violation of academic standards, and simple-minded platitudesthat characterize Howard Zinns best-selling A Peoples History of the United States . as Grabar demonstrates, it has contributed to a serious and potentially disastrous misunderstanding of American history and society. (Harvey Klehr professor emeritus of politics and history at Emory University)

Zinns book has probably done more to poison the minds of high school students than any other work of history. Grabar provides an overdue anatomy of Zinns many errors and tendentious interpretations of the United States as an evil, racist empire. a much-needed antidote to one of the chief intellectual frauds of our time. (Roger Kimball editor and publisher of the New Criterion and author of Tenured Radicals and The Long March)
