The Unraveling of the Bush Presidency - Softcover

Fear, in the magisterial yet plainspoken style of A People's History of the United States, is historian Howard Zinn's long-awaited telling of the last six years of US history, a time when catastrophic machinations of war have dictated our foreign and domestic policy, and voices of resistance have appeared in the unlikeliest places.

Perhaps more than any other American, Howard Zinn has helped us understand ourselves by deepening our understanding of our own history.

Howard Zinn is professor emeritus at Boston University.

HOWARD ZINN’s (1922–2010) great subject isn’t war, but peace. After his experience as a bombardier in World War II, he became convinced that there could be no such thing as a “just war,” as the vast majority of modern warfare’s victims are made up of innocent civilians. In his books, including A People’s History of the United States and its companion volume,Voices of a People’s History of the United States, Zinn affirms the power of the masses to influence major events. Through a lifetime of pointed scholarship and principled civil disobedience, he has led and continues to lead generations in the ways of peace.

Historian and activist Howard Zinn's visionary telling of our history is widely considered one of the most important and influential of our era. In A People's History of the United States, A Young People's History of the United States, Voices of a People's History of the United States, and, in Spanish, La otra historia de los Estados Unidos, Zinn affirms the power of the people to influence the course of events. Zinn's other books include the newly updated The Zinn Reader, Terrorism and War with Anthony Arnove, the autobiographical You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train, and the play Marx in Soho.
