Description

Howard Zinn has illuminated American history and politics like none other. He wrote on the Civil Rights and anti-war movements and was one of America's best known and most beloved - or most hated - activists for both causes. In this timely reprint of Failure to Quit, Howard Zinn discusses a wide range of historical and political topics, from the role of the Supreme Court in US history to the nature of higher education today. Zinn's most accessible, most pertinent and most popular essays have been collected in a celebration of this great activist's legacy.
