A collection of essays - both old and new - by the dean of radical American historians and author of 'A People's History of the United States' (HarperCollins). Provocative, stimulating, lucid, and at times poignant, this handy, pocket-sized guide should appeal to all the many Zinn fans and anyone with an interest in American history. 'What can I say that will in any way convey the love, respect and admiration I feel for this unassuming hero who was my teacher and mentor? Howard Zinn is the best teacher I ever had, and the funniest.' - Alice Walker
