“One of the greatest, most radical public thinkers of our time. When the sun sets on the American empire, as it will, as it must, Noam Chomsky's work will survive.” —Arundhati Roy, author, The God of Small Things

“A brilliant and moving history of the American people.” —Library Journal on Howard Zinn'sA People’s History of the United States

“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, The Color Purple
