About this title

Review:

The Future of History consists of transcripts of six interviews, conducted between 1989 and 1998 by David Barsamian with Howard Zinn, author of the bestseller A People's History of the United States. The topics covered are wide-ranging, from the history of the American labor movement to America's policy toward Iraq, from Zinn's experiences as a bomber in the Second World War to the remarkable popularity of his friend and colleague Noam Chomsky ("It's interesting that he should be famous, because all the organs of power in the U.S. are trying their best not to make him famous, to shut him up, not to publish him, not to pay attention to him, not to put him on national radio or TV"). Zinn's caustic wit and his seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of American history and current events make these conversations as delightful to read as they are eye-opening.
