<p> Voices really captures the voices as if they were speaking right to us over the years and all the differences.It calls on us to add our own voices and, quite apart from its value as a learning tool, that may be its greatest contribution. - Paul Buhle, Z Magazine<p> Voices of a People's History of the United States should be required reading for every individual lucky enough to call America home. - Scott Thill, Salon.com<p><br>

Author Information

"The visionary historical work of professor and activist HOWARD ZINN (1922-2010) is widely considered one of the most important and influential of our era. After his experience as a bombardier in World War II, Zinn became convinced that there could no longer be such a thing as a ""just war,"" because the vast majority of victims in modern warfare are, increasingly, innocent civilians. In his books, including ""A People's History of the United States,"" its companion volume ""Voices of a People's History of the United States,"" and countless other titles, Zinn affirms the power of the people to influence the course of events."
