A People's History of the United States : 1492-Present (Perennial Classics) from Perennial Classics Price: $13.26 Customer Review:  Zinn opened my eyes to a lot of unpleasant American history I wasn't much aware of. Drawing on a ton of facts, he shows that painful social progress usually came about by ordinary Americans going against the grain; people pushing rather than politicians pulling. Zinn pours out historical facts... |

The Twentieth Century : A People's History from Perennial Price: $11.17 Customer Review: The reader from Rhode Island entirely misses the point of Zinn's books. Zinn has attempted something that doesn't exist in traditional history books (especially those provided in American primary and secondary schools); he examines our history by looking at what ordinary people thought, experienced,... |

The Power of Nonviolence: Writings by Advocates of Peace from Beacon Press Price: $10.40 Customer Review: I must admit that I am a bit surprised that this has received two poor reviews in a row. A quick look at the original book shows that The Power of Nonviolence was a true revision of the 60's book. The previous volume, with over 100 selections, was a haphazard affair with so many pieces that you got... |

You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train : A Personal History of Our Times from Beacon Press Price: $10.50 Customer Review:  I really enjoyed this book. What does come through over and over is Zinn's sense of hope for the future - a sense of hope based on the changes that people can make individually when they speak up and act. Part of what I enjoyed was that the history is connected in a personal way to Zinn and his... |

The Zinn Reader: Writings on Disobedience and Democracy from Seven Stories Press Price: $13.97 Customer Review: How many times can you call a collection of political essays a page turner? Well, how many Howard Zinn books are there? This is a really comprehensive collection of Zinn's work, and makes a nice compliment to his quintessential "People's History of the US." It picks up on the same subject matter,... |

Artists In Times of War and Other Essays (Open Media) from Seven Stories Press Price: $9.95 Customer Review: This slim volume (I read it in an hour) by famous (or infamous, depending on your point of view) revisionist historian Zinn is direct and to the point: "It is the job of the artist...to think outside the boundaries of permissible thought and dare to say things that no one else will say." Of course,... |

You Back the Attack, We'll Bomb Who We Want from Seven Stories Press Price: $11.17 Customer Review: This book is a condmnation of the Bush administration's foreign policy, and serves to awaken readers to the hypocrisy of fighting only when there is a tangible benefit for big business in the United States. (Where ARE those weapons of mass destruction, anyway?) At the same time the book is sharp and... |

Declarations of Independence from Perennial Customer Review: Howard Zinn will never be a mainstream policy wonk. He is a maverick and proud of it. In a nutshell, Zinn wants a government that represents the interests of the majority...not a select few. Moreover, he dares the reader to challenge conventional wisdom and examine events through his special prism.... |

Silencing Political Dissent: How Post-September 11 Anti-Terrorism Measures Threaten Our Civil Liberties from Seven Stories Press Price: $9.95 Customer Review: Nancy Chang's concise summary of post 9/11 developments is an excellent primer on how dissent has been repressed and silenced in the name of anti-terrorism and how "patriotism" has been twisted into something resembling a Mccarthyite witch-hunt. She focuses on the USA PATRIOT Act, and her legal... |

Passionate Declarations : Essays on War and Justice from Perennial Price: $11.16 Customer Review: "Passionate Declarations" by Howard Zinn is an outstanding collection of essays that were originally published in 1990. The new edition from 2003 features a Preface that was written just prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq. In my view, Dr. Zinn's essays are helpful in understanding many of the forces... |

Terrorism and War (Open Media Pamphlet Series) from Seven Stories Press Price: $9.95 Customer Review: A few months ago I read Howard Zinn's pre-september 11th book "Zinn on War." I found it extremely touching and thought provoking. Zinn once again captures that feeling with the newest book from the Open Media publishing movement. "Terrorism and War" is a collection of interviews (both Zinn and... |

Target Iraq: What the News Media Didn't Tell You from Context Books Price: $8.76 Customer Review: TARGET IRAQ: WHAT THE NEWS MEDIA DIDN'T TELL YOU illuminates one of the biggest problems with any discussion about a possible war against Iraq--namely, that people still trust and rely on the information they get from the mainstream media. That is not to say that the Dan Rathers and Wolf Blitzers... |

Autobiography of Abbie Hoffman 2 Ed from Four Walls Eight Windows Price: $10.80 Customer Review: After seeing 'Steal this movie', I had no choice but to learn more about this incredibly crazy man. This book is amazing...it made me laugh out loud, think, ponder the idea of getting out there and causing a ruckus in the name of freedom. His writing flows...like old friends reminicing about their... |

Marx in Soho : A Play on History from South End Press Price: $9.60 Customer Review: I attended the first performance of "Marx in Soho" and was thrilled to find it brilliant, funny, and dead-on politically. Zinn gives Marx an opportunity to defend himself against modern-day critics who claim that his theories led to the atrocities of state capitalist regimes. Those familiar with... |

Emma from South End Press Price: $9.00 Customer Review: Zinn does an excellent job of introducing readers to Goldman, Berkman, Most, Reitman and others. Readers get an accurate sense of their personalities and concerns, a consequence of Zinn's ability to adapt actual source material in the dialogue. The problem with play is that its intention seems to... |

Disobedience and Democracy : Nine Fallacies on Law and Order (Radical 60s) from South End Press Price: $10.50 Customer Review: I've read books by Howard Zinn before and I have always been enticed by his writings. He writes a powerful message in a simple way to understand. In this book, Zinn taught me a lot about Disobedience and Democracy; not only what it is, but what it isn't as well. He broke it all down into nine... |

The experiences reported by the individuals in this book are extremely well written stories that transcend the bounds of what at first seems a narrow topic. Still, if... |
