Howard Zinn - You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train

Matt Damon, Howard Zinn

FIRST RUN FEATURES, 2005

A revolution in kindness.
Sometimes I find the thoughts of Zinn's detractors to be at least as interesting as those of his admirers. Bernard Chapin's negative review was no exception. Chapin holds a world view that our militarists are constantly pushing in an attempt to rationalize their ...
