	1	Arnove, Anthony; Zinn, Howard (Foreword and Afterword by) Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal New York New Press 2006 1595580794 / 9781595580795 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Very Good Fine xxi, 184 pp., illus., map, bib. notes, index; 20 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean inside copy. Light handling soil/boards. Fine DJ. "Three years after the start of the war in Iraq, violence and misery continue to plague the country, and conservatives and liberals alike are struggling with the question of when - and under what circumstances - U.S. and coalition forces should leave. In this cogent and compelling book, Anthony Arnove argues that the U.S. occupation is the major source of instability and suffering for the Iraqi people. Challenging the idea that George W. Bush has ever been interested in bringing democracy to the country - as well as the view held by many on both sides of the political spectrum that it would be more damaging to leave prematurely - Arnove explores the real reasons behind the invasion. He shows why continuing the occupation is both a wildly unrealistic and reckless strategy, one that is making the world a more dangerous place. Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal concludes by laying out a clear vision for the antiwar movement, one that constructively involves soldiers, military families, and the many communities affected by the occupation, who together, Arnove argues, can build the needed coalition to bring the troops home. Nearly forty years ago, historian, activist, and bestselling author Howard Zinn - whose foreword and afterword frame Arnove's book - published Vietnam: The Logic of Withdrawal, which argued with remarkable foresight that getting out of Vietnam was the only realistic option. Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal will likely prove equally prescient. / Anthony Arnove is the editor of Iraq Under Siege and co-editor, with Howard Zinn, of Voices of a People's History of the United States. His writing has appeared in the Financial Times, The Nation, Mother Jones, Monthly Review, Le Nouvel Observateur, Z Magazine, and other publications. He lives in Brooklyn, New York. Howard Zinn is a professor emeritus at Boston University. He is the author of numerous books, including A People's History of the United States." - Publisher. Price: 5.95 USD

	3	Zinn, Howard Terrorism and War New York Seven Stories Press; An Open Media Book 2002 1583224939 / 9781583224939 First Printing Mass Market Paperback Fine Collectible 159 pp., maps, bib. notes, index; 18 cm. Tight, clean copy. "New interviews conducted since the tragic events of September 11 and the bombing campaign against Afghanistan, Terrorism and War provides Zinn's most up-to-date thinking on war, terrorism, and the new global order. Truth, Zinn shows us, has indeed been the first casualty of war, starting from the beginnings of American empire in the Spanish-American War. But war has many other casualties, he argues, including civil liberties on the home front and human rights abroad. In Terrorism and War Zinn explores the growth of the American empire, as well as the long tradition of resistance in this country to U.S. militarism, from Eugene Debs and the Socialist Party during World War One to the opponents of U.S. military intervention in Afghanistan today. Howard Zinn may be America's most articulate historian of the Left, whose life-long study of the purposes and outcomes of war has been among his most luminous contributions to our ongoing democratic conversation. Formerly a bombardier in World War Two, Zinn has spent decades contrasting the rhetoric governments use to justify wars and the reality of their impact, especially on the civilians who are increasingly the victims of military conflicts." - Publisher.

	4	Zinn, Howard The Zinn Reader: Writings on Disobedience and Democracy New York Seven Stories Press 1997 1888363541 / 9781888363548 Reprint Trade Paperback Very Good 668 pp., bib. notes; 23 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Spine slightly bowed. Age toning. An excellent anthology. Recommended by Left Coast Books. "No other radical historian has reached so many hearts and minds as Howard Zinn. His A People's History of the United States has gone into more than 25 printings and sold over 400,000 copies. It is rare that a historian of the Left has managed to retain as much credibility while refusing to let his academic mantle change his beautiful writing style from being anything but direct, forthright, and accessible. Whether his subject is war, race, politics, economic justice, or history itself, each of his works serves as a reminder that to embrace one's subjectivity can mean embracing one's humanity, that heart and mind can speak with one voice. The Zinn Reader represents the first time Zinn has attempted to present the depth, and breadth, of his concerns in one volume. The result is a monumental book, one that will remain, alongside A People's History of the United States, as an essential and necessary Zinn text. The organizational structure of the book reveals the six areas of deep interest in Zinn's work over the last three and a half decades: 'Race,' 'Class,' 'War,' 'Law,' 'History,' and 'Means and Ends.' In each part, Zinn has chosen what he considers to be his best writings on the topic, whether from previously uncollected magazine or newspaper pieces, or from his other books. Zinn has written a new introduction for each essay or article placing it in its historical context. Here, in Zinn's inimitable prose: the hard fact of racism, in the South and in the North, at the start of the civil rights movement; Zinn on LaGuardia, the Ludlow Massacre, and 'Growing Up Class-Conscious; questioning the very idea of a 'just war'; LBJ, the CIA, Nixon, and the bombing of Hiroshima; civil disobedience and the role of punishment in our society; on Upton Sinclair, Sacco and Vanzetti, and 'Where to Look for a Communist'; why historians don't have to be 'objective' and how the power of the academy is wasted; on anarchism, violence, and human nature, and 'The Spirit of Rebellion.' These are just a few of the topics Zinn takes up, and shakes up, in this rich and welcome volume." - Publisher. Price: 11.95 USD
