RIP Howard Zinn

Howard Zinn, the Boston University historian who wrote A People's History of the United States, died of a heart attack today at age 89. While it certainly isn't objective - and didn't try to be - it's a book that everybody ought to read, perhaps best as a complement to a good mainstream history text.
