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''. In 2007, he published a version of it for younger readers, ''A Young People′s History of the United States''.〔(Howard Zinn, Historian, Is Dead at 87 ), January 28, 2010.〕 Zinn described himself as "something of an anarchist, something of a socialist. Maybe a democratic socialist."〔("War is the Health of the State: An Interview with Howard Zinn" ), By Paul Glavin & Chuck Morse, ''Perspectives on Anarchist Theory'', Vol. 7, No. 1, Spring 2003.〕 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'', was also the title of a 2004 documentary about Zinn's life and work. Zinn died of a heart attack in 2010, aged 87.〔(Howard Zinn Dead, Author Of 'People's History Of The United States' Died At 87 ) by Hillel Italie, ''The Huffington Post'', January 27, 2010.〕 ==Life and career== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Howard Zinn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
