This is Howard Zinn’s last recorded public talk at Boston University.   Seating himself at a table, the 87-year old Zinn asks the audience of students, facility, and guests if they mind if he sits down. “After all,” he reminds them, “you’re seating down.” Zinn’s humor and warm, relaxed mood delight the audience throughout his talk. Zinn’s subject is provocative. He questions three “holy wars” in U.S. history: the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and World War II. He questions them because the “notion that any war is a good war serves to justify all war.”
