We speak with legendary historian Howard Zinn, author of one of the most popular books on American History, "A People's History of the United States."  In his youth, Zinn was a bombardier in World War II and participated in the Napalm bombing in France. He went on to dedicate his life to opposing wars of all kind. He was an active fighter in Civil Rights Movement and served as an advisor to the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee.
