A People's History of American Empire

by Howard Zinn, with help from Paul Buhle and Mike Konopacki

If you happened to see Paul Buhle speak last week at 2640, you may have seen him waving a draft copy of a comic book version of Howard Zinn's People's History of the United States.  Well, we just got this in - $17 gets you a 250+ page comic rendition of Howard's Zinn absolutely essential retelling from below of US history.  Now, you might be tempted to say that Howard Zinn is already amazingly accessible, that People's History is one the most engaging and readable texts to ever come out the US left, and thus wonder why you'd need it in comic form - and we'd answer that  A People's History of American Empire isn't just a retelling of the history of the US, but is framed by a general introduction to Howard Zinn's politics, his critique of current US warmongering imperialism, and his inspiring philosophy of resistance and hope, all in comic-form, mind you.
