Howard Zinn or Paul Johnson: Which Author´s Story Makes Better Sense of the History of the United States?


Essay, 2010

9 Pages, Grade: 1,0


Abstract or Introduction

This essay addresses the following scenario: You are a staffer for NCHE (National Council on History Education). The Board of Trustees has directed NCHE staff to submit proposals for books that could provide the basis for a national conversation on American history. Preliminary discussions have narrowed the choices down to either Howard Zinn’s "A People's History of the United States" or Paul Johnson’s "A History of the American People". The NCHE Board wants a recommendation from you. Your memo should summarize the different “stories” told by each historian, comparing and contrasting them, and make a case for why you think one book would be a better choice than the other.
