A former bombardier in WWII, Zinn emerged in the civil rights movement as a powerful voice for justice. Although he's a fierce critic, he gives us reason to hope that by learning from history and engaging politically, we can make a difference in the world.
"A teacher who committed his politically engaged life to the belief that love is a command to action."
--Colman McCarthy, The Washington Post
"A powerful, politically electric book from one of the most engaging social critics in the nation."
--Jonathan Kozol
"Zinn explains his involvement in the struggles for civil rights, against war and in support of organized labor. . . . These are lively tales."
