Praise for Voices of a People's History of the United States, 10th Anniversary Edition

  • "Is history then an art or a science and is it really possible to say what happened in the past without a bias? What is the nature of historiography in a post-modernist world? Should history abandon the search for objective truth about the past? Is it not important that it is time that history came to terms with its own processes of production? Voices of a People's History of the United States, a companion book to Zinn's previous bestseller A People's History of the United States, is a significant answer to these questions." --Chandigarh Sunday Times
  • "Voices should be on every bookshelf. [It presents] the rich tradition of struggle in the United States, from the resistance to the conquest of the Americas in the era of Columbus through the protests today of soldiers and their families against the brutal invasion and occupation of Iraq." --Arundhati Roy
  • "In Voices, Howard Zinn has given us our true story, the ongoing, not-so-secret narrative of race and class in America." --Russell Banks
  • "Gut-wrenching." --Jon Stewart
