Hi all,
I've just submitted "The Historic Unfulfilled Promise" by Howard Zinn.
It's been read and spell-checked. Headers stripped, page numbers/chapter
titles present, text/headings formatted.
253 pages.
Description:
...Zinn's views on freedom, fairness, history, democracy, and our own human
potential are educational and transformative. In few places is the genius
of his voice more crystallized and accessible than in the dozens of articles
he penned forThe Progressive magazine from 1980 to 2009, offered together
here in book form for the first time. Whether critiquing the Barack Obama
White House, the sorry state of US government and politics, the tragic
futility of US military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, or the plight of
working people in an economy rigged to benefit the rich and powerful, Zinn's
historical clarity, unflappable optimism, and unshakable questions
reverberate throughoutThe Historic Unfulfilled Promise: "Have our political
leaders gone mad?" "What kind of country do we want to live in?" "What is
national security?" "Do we have a right to occupy a country when the people
of that country obviously do not want us there?" "Is not war itself
terrorism?" "Should we not begin to consider all children, everywhere, as
our own?" "Has the will of the people been followed?"The Historic
Unfulfilled Promise is a genuine work of conscience, rich in ideas, charged
with energy; an invaluable introduction for the uninitiated and a must-have
for Zinn's fans.
