Howard Zinn

I think Howard Zinn's viewpoint is interesting. It definitely opens up a different perspective on how people thought of Christopher Columbus, and I'm sure, about many other untold/untaught sides in the class rooms. I think it's important that he wrote this book so people can have an understanding on both the sides, and not the more "heroic" or "better sounding" side. Overall, I like learning History from the "underdogs" of the situation, and not just from the glee-ful side.
