My progressive sil (is 48), read it in college, I think It was his actual text book in a history class. He kept encouraging me to read it and I finally did, over 10 years ago. I have always been a liberal, Democratic voter, that lived through much of the history Howard Zinn wrote about. I never even knew about Howard Zinn, was to busy being a mom and working. I read the book, I learned somethings, and changed my perspective on somethings, and finally understood why somethings happened. My other sil is repub, we don't talk politics, but I am sure is a person who always votes repub.
If you can read the book, it is very interesting.
