This fast-paced graphic novel-style adaption of part of Zinn's People's History focuses on cycles of U.S. expansionism and intervention from the late 19th century to the present.
The story begins with Wounded Knee and Gilded Age labor struggles, revealing imperialism’s recurring themes in America’s political, social, military, and financial conflicts up to Iran-Contra and beyond. Along the way, Zinn weaves in his own experiences (e.g., as a WWII bombardier and civil rights activist)—as well as several primary source images and texts—to help tell the often overlooked story of the "little guy." Note: contains racial slurs.
