Howard Zinn On War And Other Means And Ends

• About the book

A collection of essays on the theme of war from America's most respected historian and author of 'A People's History of the United States' (HarperCollins). Topics covered include the Vietnam War, World War II, the recent wars against Iraq and in Kosovo, and the meaning of war generally in a world that has so far proven unable to overcome its primitive predilection for destroying its neighbour. 'Professor Zinn writes with an enthusiasm rarely encountered in the leaden prose of academic history.' New York Times Book Review
