Changes

'''Howard Zinn''' (August 24, 1922 – January 27, 2010) was a [[Communist]]<ref>[http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/vernon/100809 Howard Zinn: Communist liar]</ref> who is most famous for his book ''[[A People's History of the United States]]''.  The book, due largely to a hat tip from Matt Damon's character Will Hunting in the film ''[[Good Will Hunting]]'', has sold over a million copies and gives a far-left interpretation of political history (see [[historical revisionism]]). Zinn's work manifests an inability or unwillingness to engage in objective analysis, and lacks contextual considerations, and instead his presentation of history is a polemic for liberal change. Zinn was very popular with liberal elites, and his book was made into a propagandistic film, ''The People Speak'', which the [[History Channel]] carried on cable television.
