Howard Zinn has illuminated our history like no other US historian.
This collection of his speeches on protest movements, racism, war,
and US history, many never before published, covers more than four
decades of his active engagement with the audiences he inspired
with his humor, insight, and clarity.
"Reading Howard's spoken words, I feel that I am almost hearing his
voice again--his stunning pitch-perfect ability to capture the
moment and the concerns and needs of the audience, whoever they may
be, always enlightening, often stirring, an amalgam of insight,
critical history, wit, blended with charm and appeal."
--NOAM CHOMSKY
"With ferocious moral clarity and mischievous humor, Howard turned
routine antiwar rallies into profound explorations of state
violence and staid academic conferences into revival meetings for
social change. Collected here for the first time, Howard's
speeches--spanning an extraordinary life of passion and
principle--come to us at the moment when we need them most: just as
a global network of popular uprisings searches for what comes next.
We could ask for no wiser a guide than Howard Zinn."
--NAOMI KLEIN
"To hear Howard] speak was like listening to music that you
loved--lyrical, uplifting, honest. . . . I know he would love it
for each of you to find your voice and to be heard. This book will
provide you with some inspiration."
--MICHAEL MOORE
"To read this book is to hear Howard Zinn speak again, inspiring us
for the struggles from below that are our only hope for any future
at all."
--FRANCES FOX PIVEN
