Publisher's Synopsis
The second edition of Zinn's landmark writings on history brings together 27 short writings on activism, electoral politics, the Holocaust, Marxism, the Iraq War and the role of the historian, as well as portraits of Eugene Debs, John Reed and Jack London, showing how Zinn's approach to history evolved over nearly half a century while explaining his fundamental premise: that social movements - people getting together for peace and social justice - can change the course of history. Zinn selected these writings for their enduring cultural value.
