American history told from the bottom up by Howard Zinn himselfâand the perfect all-ages introduction to his eye-opening viewpoint, published on Zinnâs hundredth birthday Truth Has a Power of Its Own is an engrossing collection of conversations with the late Howard Zinn and âan eloquently hopeful introduction for those who havenât yet encountered Zinnâs workâ (Booklist). Here is an unvarnished, yet ultimately optimistic, tour of American historyâtold by someone who was often an active participant in it. Viewed through the lens of Zinnâs own life as a soldier, historian, and activist and using his paradigm-shifting A Peopleâs History of the United States as a point of departure, these conversations explore the American Revolution, the Civil War, the labor battles of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, U.S. imperialism from the Indian Wars to the War on Terrorism, World Wars I and II, the Cold War, and the fight for equality and immigrant rightsâall from an unapologetically radical standpoint. Longtime admirers and a new generation of readers alike will be fascinated to learn about Zinnâs thought processes, rationale, motivations, and approach to his now-iconic historical work. Zinnâs humane (and often humorous) voiceâalong with his keen moral visionâshine through every one of these lively and thought-provoking conversations. Battles over the telling of our history still rage across the country, and thereâs no better person to tell it than Howard Zinn.
