The indispensable Zinn the essential writings of the "people's historian"

Zinn, Howard 1922-2010 (Author). McCarthy, Timothy Patrick. (Added Author).

Summary: When the historian Howard Zinn died in early 2010, millions mourned the loss of one of our foremost intellectual and political guides: a historian, activist, and truth-teller who, in the words of the New york Times's Bob Herbert, "peel[ed] back the rosy veneer of much of American history." Designed to highlight Zinn's most important writings, this book includes excerpts from Zinn's bestselling A People's History of the United States ; his memoir, You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train ; his inspiring writings on the civil rights movement; and the full text of his celebrated play Marx in Soho.
