This is a book written with a purpose that goes beyond touting the lifetime achievements of a well-known and influential person. What makes this an essential read is that Zinn is writing in response to the timeless questions that burn within anyone who cares about creating a more just society and world.

Why would a historian move outside the boundaries of the discipline (refuse to be disciplined) and decide to enter the world of the theater— that is, to write plays? I can’t speak for others— the historian Martin Duberman is the only one who comes to mind, having written the documentary play In White America during the early years of the civil rights movement.Zinn, Howard.
