Description

Cultural Writing. Politics. Howard Zinn, author of the classic A People's History of the United States, demonstrates how the U.S. response to the 9/11 attacks has not only unleashed wars in Afghanistan and Iraq but has also prompted a rollback of decades of struggle for democracy, civil rights, and government accountability here at home. A champion of the disadvantaged and oppressed, Zinn offers an inspiring counter-narrative to the State's ongoing "war on terror" and celebrates the flashes of democracy and resistance that are reason for hope. Written between September 11, 2005 and the spring of 2006, this timely collection features Zinn at his critical best.
