Renowned historian Howard Zinn was the author of numerous books, including A People's History of the United States, the award-winning Declarations of Independence, and Failure to Quit, as well as the memoir You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train and the play Marx in Soho.
"Professor Zinn writes with an enthusiasm rarely encountered in the
leaden prose of academic history, and his text is studded with
telling quotations from labor leaders, war resisters, and fugitive
slaves. There are vivid descriptions of events that are usually
ignored ... A reversal of perspectives, a reshuffling of heroes and
villains."
—Eric Foner, The New York Times Book Review
"[A] brilliant and moving history of the American people from the
point of view of those who have been exploited politically and
economically, and whose plight has been largely omitted from most
histories."
—Library Journal
