American Author, political scientist, teacher, activist, historian, and social critic Howard Zinn penned the best selling book A People's History of the United States. Howard Zinn is currently Professor Emeritus in the Political Science Department at Boston University.
Zinn's experience as an U.S. Air Force bombardier during World War II led him to be highly critical of armed combat. He was active in the Vietnam anti-war and American Civil Rights movements, and also worked as a labor union organizer.
Zinn's philosophies lean toward socialism and his writings often detail the experiences of cultural groups that have traditionally been marginalized.
