First Impressions

Upon first impression, Howard Zinn seems very intelligent and different from other writers of history. He imparts a new perspective which students need to hear in order to develop a full understanding and opinion. He can be a bit grim at times, however he has to in order to stay true to his perspective and point of view. He does get a little biased at some points, but he admits this and tries to overcome it. I enjoy his ideas and admire what he is trying to do.
