I have a copy of Zinn, and one must know that he brings to his alleged task of writing history a deep Communist bias against his subject.

Not that the United States is above criticism; just understand that there is a lack of balance on offer.

Zinn is extra credit for people that actually know history. He says it right in the preface, it's one-sided, it's the history that is generally left out of your textbooks. You guys have your panties in a bunch over anything that challenges your hierarchical worldview.

I appreciate that Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead is in the same list. It's a sort of balance, expounding on the converse ideology. You can play mindfuck ping pong between the two. Cheers for the author's open mind, without which mindfuckery is at best foreplay.
