This second edition of Howard Zinn on War brings together 26 short writings, chosen by the author to represent his thinking on a subject that concerned and fascinated him throughout his career. He reflects on the wars against Iraq, the war in Kosovo, the Vietnam War, WWII and on the meaning of war generally in a world of nations that can't seem to stop destroying each other. As a WWII veteran and lifelong peace activist, Zinn gives a unique perspective on the subject.
