Reaction_to_Howard_Zinn’s_Writing_about_Vietnam

Reaction to Howard Zinn’s Writing about Vietnam Reaction to Howard Zinn’s Writing about Vietnam Zinn gives a complete overview of what happened. He does not go into immense detail on every subject, because if he did that he still would be writing about Vietnam. I was very interested while reading. What I found different was the way Zinn plays a neutral position on the war, leaning a little towards a pacifist. While reading this some of my thoughts of the entire Vietnam War changed. I wish I could have been a bird in the sky while the War was going on. It would have been great to be able to watch all the events, battles, riots, and protests take place. The way that the government lied and continued to lie to the people of America was astonishing to me. It puts a question in the back of my mind of what we do truly know. The things that they do not tell us could change peoples thought and ideas forever, but we will never know. I would like to read the “Pentagon Papers” sometime and see the truths behind our government’s actions.
