Howard Zinn (August 24, 1922 – January 27, 2010) was an American historian (nonfiction), playwright, and social activist.
Life
He was a political science professor at Boston University. Zinn wrote more than twenty books, including his best-selling and influential "A People's History of the United States" (nonfiction).
In 2007, he published a version of it for younger readers, "A Young People′s History of the United States" (nonfiction).
Zinn described himself as "something of an anarchist, something of a socialist. Maybe a democratic socialist."
He wrote extensively about the civil rights and anti-war movements, and labor history of the United States.
His memoir, You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train (nonfiction), was also the title of a 2004 documentary (nonfiction) about Zinn's life and work.
