Adapted from the best-selling grassroots history of the United States, this comic book tells the story of America in the world
Since its landmark publication in 1980, A People’s History of the United States has gone through six editions, sold more than 1.7 million copies, become required reading in classrooms across the country, and been adapted into a critically acclaimed play. More than a successful book, A People’s History of the United States revolutionized the way history is told, replacing the official version with a narrative that chronicles events from the ground up, with a narrative that chronicles events from the ground up.
Now, Howard Zinn, historian Paul Buhler, and cartoonist Mike Konopaczki have teamed up to retell the most immediate and relevant chapter in A People’s History in vivid comic form: the centuries-long history of America’s actions in the world. This version, narrated by Zinn, opens with the events of 9/11, then jumps back to explore the cycle of American expansionism from Wounded Knee to Iraq, with stops in World War I, Central America, Vietnam, and the Iranian Revolution. The book also tells the story of Zinn, the son of poor Jewish immigrants, from his childhood in the slums of Brooklyn to his rise to become one of America’s leading historians.
From world-shaking events to one family’s small revolution, A People’s History of American Empire presents a classic grassroots history of the United States in a dazzling new format.
