Howard Zinn tells a different side of the story of Columbus then what text books say. It's a new side of Columbus that people don't know and aren't taught normally in classrooms. He tells his side no matter how bad it is, he tells the side of the unfortunate people. I think its good that there is a book about the other side of the story rather then just the side that makes the explorers look good.
Kaylie - can you go into some specifics. You got the general idea, now see if you can pull out some of Zinn's details to back up these ideas.
