Title Details
Description
The historian and teacher Howard Zinn grew up on the tough streets of Brooklyn where he worked as a teenager in the shipyards. He went on to earn his doctorate in history from Columbia University, and while teaching college became an activist in the civil rights movement and in opposition to the Vietnam War. Among his many books is A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, written from the point of view of men and women left out of the official records of the American epic. Since its publication in 1980, it's become a touchstone of dissident thought in America. Bill Moyers asks Zinn about his book, TERRORISM AND WAR, and about the politically engaged life he has led since he came home from the Air Force after World War II. This is an extended version of an interview that Moyers did with Howard Zinn for NOW with Bill Moyers.
