Reviews

"Chomsky is a global phenomenon... perhaps the most widely read voice on foreign policy on the planet."
--New York Times Book Review "What can I say that will in any way convey the love, respect, and admiration I feel for this unassuming hero who was my teacher and mentor; this radical historian and people-loving 'troublemaker, ' this man who stood with us and suffered with us? Howard Zinn was the best teacher I ever had, and the funniest."
--Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple
