More than a successful book, \u003ci\u003eA People's History\u003c\/i\u003e triggered a revolution in the way history is told, displacing the official versions with their emphasis on great men in high places to chronicle events as they were lived, from the bottom up. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow Howard Zinn, historian Paul Buhle, and cartoonist Mike Konopacki have collaborated to retell, in vibrant comics form, a most immediate and relevant chapter of \u003ci\u003eA People's History\u003c\/i\u003e: the centuries-long story of America's actions in the world. Narrated by Zinn, this version opens with the events of 9\/11 and then jumps back to explore the cycles of U.S. expansionism from Wounded Knee to Iraq, stopping along the way at World War I, Central America, Vietnam, and the Iranian revolution. The book also follows the story of Zinn, the son of poor Jewish immigrants, from his childhood in the Brooklyn slums to his role as one of America's leading historians. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShifting from world-shattering events to one family's small revolutions, \u003ci\u003eA People's History of American Empire\u003c\/i\u003e presents the classic ground-level history of America in a dazzling new form.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHoward Zinn\u003c\/b\u003e, author of numerous acclaimed histories, taught history at Spelman College and Boston University, and received the Lannan Literary Award, among many others. \u003ci\u003eA People's History of the United States \u003c\/i\u003ewas a finalist for the 1981 National Book Award.
