Howard Zinn (1922-2010)

So sad to read that Howard Zinn died today of a heart attack. He was such a towering figure. His loss will be immense.

After all these years, this is still one of my favourite political essays:

Howard Zinn's 'Je Ne Suis Pas Marxiste'

Addendum

History Is A Weapon website have been good enough to place Zinn's best known work, 'A People's History Of The United States', online. You can read it here.

Pass on the link.
