Synopsis:

In volume two, Howard Zinn's llively, clear prose guides the reader through the wars and revolutions of the 20th century. Zinn continues his retelling up to the policies and resistance that have characterised the war on terror and that shape the USA today. Includes a final chapter updating America's history to the present.

About the Author: 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 volumeVoices 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.

REBECCA STEFOFF is the author of more than 100 nonfiction books for children and young adults, and she has adapted several best-selling history books for younger readers.
