American history told from the bottom up by Howard Zinn himselfand the perfect all-ages introduction to his eye-opening viewpoint, published on Zinns hundredth birthday

Truth Has a Power of Its Own is an engrossing collection of conversations with the late Howard Zinn and an eloquently hopeful introduction for those who havent yet encountered Zinns work (Booklist). Here is an unvarnished, yet ultimately optimistic, tour of American historytold by someone who was often an active participant in it.

Viewed through the lens of Zinns own life as a soldier, historian, and activist and using his paradigm-shifting A Peoples 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 rightsall from an unapologetically radical standpoint. Longtime admirers and a new generation of readers alike will be fascinated to learn about Zinns thought processes, rationale, motivations, and approach to his now-iconic historical work.

Zinns humane (and often humorous) voicealong with his keen moral visionshine through every one of these lively and thought-provoking conversations. Battles over the telling of our history still rage across the country, and theres no better person to tell it than Howard Zinn.
