06/15/2015 good historical doc yep it's Monday, doc day! See more 03/03/2014 Well articulated, and it is an interesting watch if you like history from another perspective, but one must know the erroneous ideologue characteristics of Zinn before taking it as completely serious history. See more 11/25/2013 I appreciate Zinn and his work but it's outdated now as a separate, special thing. It's conflict history. You're not going to hear about George Carver in here. Maybe it's still a failure in public schools to teach these things, but in college it's not. I'm a history major and know about everything mentioned. It's standard. The examination of American Indians was glossed over. The WWII section is very biased. The readings are ok. See more 10/05/2011 I -heart- Howard Zinn. He's a big sweetie :) See more 06/26/2011 Couldn't get into this, found it too slow and uninteresting. See more 04/15/2011 Interesting idea but this movie was so boring. It wasn't a good documentary.
