Class Struggle to the War on Terror

Here's the U.S. history that is seldom taught in our children's schools. Volume Two opens with a quote by Emma Goldman at the end of the Spanish-American War.

"How our hearts burned with indignation against the atrocious Spaniards!...But when the smoke was over, the dead buried, and the cost of the war came back to the people in an increase in the price of commodities [goods] and rent—that is, when we sobered up from our patriotic spree—it suddenly dawned on us that the cause of the Spanish American war was the price of sugar ... that the lives, blood and money of the American people were used to protect the interests of the American capitalists.

Zinn brings the People's History for young people through the 20th Century, WWI & WWII, civil rights, Vietnam, and to the "war on terror" and the U.S. war against Iraq.
