Hacker News new | ask | show | jobs

I ask for specifics because I know all the general arguments around it. I asked about what was specifically untrue, I have not read solid criticisms of it that cast serious doubt on its factual claims, only that it shows history from a certain perspective, which (to be fair to Zinn here) is evident in the title.

Right, so go check the thread that you were linked to. It's clearly going to be a more holistic treatment than you're going to get in this thread on hacker news, a site for programmers and software entrepreneurs, not historians.
I've read them, and I've also read Michael Kazin's criticism in particular numerous times.
