A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

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 volume Voices 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.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A collection of essays on the theme of war from America's most respected historian and author of 'A People's History of the United States' (HarperCollins). Topics covered include the Vietnam War, World War II, the recent wars against Iraq and in Kosovo, and the meaning of war generally in a world that has so far proven unable to overcome its primitive predilection for destroying its neighbour. 'Professor Zinn writes with an enthusiasm rarely encountered in the leaden prose of academic history.' New York Times Book Review
