A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF AMERICAN EMPIRE GN
by Howard Zinn, Paul Buhle & Mike Konopacki
Adapted from historian Howard Zinn's bestselling grassroots history of the
United States, the story of America in the world is told in comics form! Now
Zinn, historian Paul Buhle, and cartoonist Mike Konopacki have collaborated to
retell, in vibrant comics form, a most immediate and relevant chapter of A
People’s History — the centuries-long story of America’s actions in the world.
Narrated by Zinn, this version opens with the events of 9/11 and then jumps back
to explore the cycles of U.S. expansionism from Wounded Knee to Iraq, stopping
along the way at World War I, Central America, Vietnam, and the Iranian
revolution. The book also follows the story of Zinn, the son of poor Jewish
immigrants, from his childhood in the Brooklyn slums to his role as one of
America’s leading historians. Available in softcover and hardcover editions. (C:
