| | Dear Roberto,
Millions of Americans have read and been galvanized by A People’s History of
the United States. But many years before Howard Zinn published that epic saga
of exploitation and resistance, he was organizing civil-rights protests and
agitating for an end to the Vietnam War—and writing about those efforts in the
pages of The Nation.
The collection of Howard Zinn’s Nation essays, Some Truths Are Not
Self-Evident, is available in paperback and in digital format for tablets,
smartphones and computers through eBookNation.
From the Atlanta campus of Spelman College (where Zinn taught in the early
1960s) to North Vietnam (where he facilitated the release of American POWs),
Zinn was not only an astute observer of history. As Frances Fox Piven writes in
the introduction to Some Truths Are Not Self-Evident, “These Nation essays
remind us that for nearly fifty years Zinn himself was deeply involved in the
major twentieth-century struggles for social justice in the United States.”
The book also includes later Zinn articles on George W. Bush’s wars—on terror,
in Iraq, against the poor—as well as a selection of Nation articles about Zinn,
concluding with Eric Foner’s 2010 obituary for the historian who “was not
afraid to speak out about the difference between right and wrong.” Nowhere has
Zinn’s courage and commitment to speaking out been as evident as in Some Truths
Are Not Self-Evident: Essays in The Nation on Civil Rights, Vietnam and the
“War on Terror.”
Best of all, by purchasing e-books through eBookNation, you'll help to sustain
The Nation's journalism while supporting our writers and progressive ideals.
