What They're Saying
Critics Review
“He’s changed the conscience of America in a highly constructive way. I really can’t think of anyone I can compare him to in this respect.” —Noam Chomsky
“Howard had a genius for the shape of public morality and for articulating the great alternative vision of peace as more than a dream.” —James Carroll, The Boston Globe
About The Author
Howard Zinn
The visionary historical work of professor and activist HOWARD ZINN (1922–2010) is widely considered one of the most important and influential of our era. After his experience as a bombardier in World War II, Zinn became convinced that there could no longer be such a thing as a “just war,” because the vast majority of victims in modern warfare are, increasingly, innocent civilians. In his books, including A People’s History of the United States, its companion volume Voices of a People’s History of the United States, and countless other titles, Zinn affirms the power of the people to influence the course of events.
