(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (p. 265-267) and index.

oward Zinn, historian Paul Buhle, and cartoonist Mike Konopacki have collaborated to retell, in vibrant comics form, a most immediate and relevant chapter of A Peopleś History: the centuries-long story of Americaś 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 Americaś leading historians. Shifting from world-shattering events to one familyś small revolutions, A Peopleś History of American Empire presents the classic ground-level history of America in a dazzling new form.
