Howard Zinn ( August 24, 1922 – January 27, 2010 ) was an American academic historian, author, playwright, and social activist.

Zinn was born to a Jewish immigrant family in Brooklyn.

Eager to fight fascism, Zinn joined the Army Air Force during World War II and was assigned as a bombardier in the 490th Bombardment Group, bombing targets in Berlin, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary.

The anti-war stance Zinn developed later was informed, in part, by his experiences.

On the ground, Zinn learned that the aerial bombing attacks in which he participated had killed more than 1000 French civilians as well as some German soldiers hiding near Royan to await the war's end, events that are described " in all accounts " he found as " une tragique erreur " that leveled a small but ancient city and " its population that was, at least officially, friend, not foe.

" In The Politics of History, Zinn described how the bombing was ordered — three weeks before the war in Europe ended — by military officials who were, in part, motivated more by the desire for their own career advancement than in legitimate military objectives.

Zinn wrote, " I recalled flying on that mission, too, as deputy lead bombardier, and that we did not aim specifically at the ' Skoda works ' ( which I would have noted, because it was the one target in Czechoslovakia I had read about ) but dropped our bombs, without much precision, on the city of Pilsen.

In 1960 – 61, Zinn was a post-doctoral fellow in East Asian Studies at Harvard University.
