A wide-ranging collection of speechesâmany published here for the first timeâby the historian and author of A Peopleâs History of the United States.  Howard Zinn has illuminated our history like no other US historian. This collection of his speeches on protest movements, racism, war, and American history covers more than four decades of his active engagement with the audiences he inspired with his humor, insight, and clarity.  This volume features Zinnâs impassioned and erudite statements on the war in Vietnam, abolishing the death penalty, the legacy of Emma Goldman, the myth of American exceptionalism, the Obama Administration, and much more.  âReading Howardâs spoken words, I feel that I am almost hearing his voice againâhis 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.â âNoam Chomsky, leading public intellectual and author of Hopes and Prospects  âWith 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.â âNaomi Klein, author of No Is Not Enough and The Battle For Paradise |
