{"product_id":"howard-zinn-a-life-on-the-left-9781595589347","title":"Howard Zinn: A Life on the Left","description":"Published to great acclaim in hardcover, Martin Duberman's \u003ci\u003eHoward Zinn\u003c\/i\u003e was described by Michael Kammen in the Los Angeles Review of Books as \"biography at its best, written by a master of the craft and a man who has lived the activist life and combined that with serious scholarship and innovative teaching.\" For the millions moved by Howard Zinn's personal example of political engagement, here is a brilliant new biography of perhaps the most widely celebrated popular interpreter of American history and one of America's most admired progressive voices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Profoundly moving and perfectly timed\" (Blanche Wiesen Cook), \"compulsively readable and elegant\" (\u003ci\u003eForeWord\u003c\/i\u003e), \"engaging\" (History News Network), and \"thoughtful\" (\u003ci\u003eReason Online\u003c\/i\u003e), this fascinating account places Zinn at the heart of the signal events of modern American history--from World War II to the McCarthy era, the civil rights and the antiwar movements, and beyond. A bombardier who later renounced war, a son of working-class parents who earned a doctorate at Columbia, a white professor who taught at the historically black Spelman College in Atlanta--the author of \u003ci\u003eA People's History of the United States\u003c\/i\u003e blazed a bold, iconoclastic path through the turbulent second half of the twentieth century. Drawing on the previously closed Zinn archives and illustrated with never-before-published photographs, Howard Zinn brings to life this towering figure--the people's historian who himself made history, changing forever how we think about our past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartin Duberman is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History at the CUNY Graduate School.
