One of the most important contemporary historians presents his account of the last six years of the US history, from the events of 9/11, which rocked the world and permanently altered the landscape of international politics, to the recent midterm elections in which voters overwhelmingly overthrew a political party that does not work in tehir interest. In this concise pamphlet. Howard Zinn describes a tumultuous time when catastrophic machinations of war have dictated American foreign and domestic policy and voices of resistance have appeared in the unlikeliest places.
HOWARD ZINNs (19222010) great subject isnt war, but peace. After his experience as a bombardier in World War II, he became convinced that there could be no such thing as a just war, as the vast majority of modern warfares victims are made up of innocent civilians. In his books, including A Peoples History of the United States and its companion volume, Voices of a Peoples History of the United States, Zinn affirms the power of the masses to influence major events. Through a lifetime of pointed scholarship and principled civil disobedience, he has led and continues to lead generations in the ways of peace.
