Through the Russian Revolution

by Albert Rhys Williams

Description

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, includingA People’s History of the United States, its companion volumeVoices of a show more People’s History of the United States, and countless other titles, Zinn affirms the power of the people to influence the course of events. show less
