About this listen

Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States has sold over 2.5 million copies and is still required reading in some high school and college classrooms. But its polemic rewriting of American history as a story of oppression is an agenda-driven fairy tale that has no place in academia. In Debunking Howard Zinn, Mary Grabar debunks Howard Zinn’s lies and traces the damage his mega-bestseller has done to American education, culture, and politics.

I was a bit skeptical that this woul be a right-wing propaganda work because Zinn and his followers were labeled as 'America-hating' in the introduction, but this is by no means a work of right-wing orthodoxy. The author defends the Democratic president Franklin Roosevelt against Howard Zinn's criticisms and wants no part of the campaign of Joseph McCarthy. But it also exposes a lot of the inaccuracies and mendacities in Zinn's work, which have become conventional wisdom for a lot of the intelligentsia.
