American history told from the bottom up by Howard Zinn himself-and
the perfect all-ages introduction to his eye-opening viewpoint,
published on Zinn's hundredth birthday Truth Has a Power of Its Own
is an engrossing collection of conversations with the late Howard
Zinn and "an eloquently hopeful introduction for those who haven't
yet encountered Zinn's work" (Booklist). Here is an unvarnished,
yet ultimately optimistic, tour of American history-told by someone
who was often an active participant in it. Viewed through the lens
of Zinn's own life as a soldier, historian, and activist and using
his paradigm-shifting A People's History of the United States as a
point of departure, these conversations explore the American
Revolution, the Civil War, the labor battles of the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries, U.S. imperialism from the Indian Wars to the
War on Terrorism, World Wars I and II, the Cold War, and the fight
for equality and immigrant rights-all from an unapologetically
radical standpoint. Longtime admirers and a new generation of
readers alike will be fascinated to learn about Zinn's thought
processes, rationale, motivations, and approach to his now-iconic
historical work. Zinn's humane (and often humorous) voice-along
with his keen moral vision-shine through every one of these lively
and thought-provoking conversations. Battles over the telling of
our history still rage across the country, and there's no better
person to tell it than Howard Zinn.
