This slim book contains a series of radio interviews Howard Zinn did with Alternative Radio founder/director David Barsamian. In it, all the issues Zinn is known for are addressed: the poor, the dispossessed, and the focus of the political, economic, and media powers that work tirelessly to silence their grievances. Though I get exhausted with Zinn’s tendency toward pedantry, as well as the circular conversations he has with himself while on the air, he is an enduring, important voice in American History, and this book is an excellent reminder that our lives are never as perfect as those in power would like us to think it is, and that it is the responsibility of all of us to rise above those lies and work for justice.
