Episode Details

Our series on the life, work, and legacy of Howard Zinn continues with a detailed conversation about the book that made Zinn famous, A People's History of the United States. Published in 1980, A People's History has sold more than 2 million copies, and its bold retelling of major American events and characters remains a lightning rod for both the left and right. Justin Rogers-Cooper joins us to talk about Zinn's quote-heavy methodology and to examine a few highlights of his counter-narrative. And, of course, Tony Soprano makes an appearance.
