Histoire
Chris Harman describes the shape and course of human history as a narrative of ordinary people forming and re-forming complex societies in pursuit of common human goals. Interacting with the forces of technological change as well as the impact of powerful individuals and revolutionary ideas, these societies have engendered events familiar to every schoolchild-from the empires of antiquity to the world wars of the 20th century. In a bravura conclusion, Chris Harman exposes the reductive complacency of contemporary capitalism.

In this pathbreaking work, now with a new introduction, Edward S.

Histoire
Pyotr Kropotkin (1842-1921), one of the most individual political figures of his time, is best known as an influential anarchist communist. But he was also a scientist, geographer and philosopher, a man who, having grown up on his aristocratic father’s extensive country estate in Russia, had a deep understanding of and love for animals (wild and domesticated), the countryside and wildernesses. And all this was underpinned by a life committed to work for the good of humanity.

Histoire
In 1965, the US government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the 20th century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful.

Here we learn that many of our country's greatest battles (labor laws, women's rights, racial equality) were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance.

Histoire
The Russian Revolution of 1917 was one of the most cataclysmic events in world history, profoundly shaping politics, international relations, social patterns, economics and science in the century that followed. It created long-lasting aftershocks which travelled far beyond its geographical borders. How did it happen? What were the sequence of events that led, following the shocking upheaval of the old Romanov order, to a fierce and violent rivalry between a variety of revolutionary factions and the ultimate victory of the Bolsheviks?

Thomas Piketty’s best-selling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. In this audacious follow-up, Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, reveals why the shallow politics of right and left are failing us today, and outlines the structure of a fairer economic system.

Histoire
This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

In On the Genealogy of Morals, subtitled "A Polemic", Nietzsche furthers his pursuit of a clarity that is less tainted by imposed prejudices. He looks at the way attitudes towards 'morality' evolved and the way congenital ideas of morality were heavily colored by the Judaic and Christian traditions.

Histoire
Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary thinkers in Western philosophy and Thus Spoke Zarathustra remains his most influential work. It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead and that the Superman, the human embodiment of divinity, is his successor. With blazing intensity, Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission, but in an all-powerful life force: passionate, chaotic and free.

It was on the Silk Roads that East and West first encountered each other through trade and conquest, leading to the spread of ideas, cultures, and religions. From the rise and fall of empires to the spread of Buddhism and the advent of Christianity and Islam, right up to the great wars of the 20th century - this book shows how the fate of the West has always been inextricably linked to the East.

It can be said of very few books that the world was changed as a result of its publication - but this is certainly the case of Capital: A Critique of Political Economy by Karl Marx (1818-1883). Volume 1 appeared (in German) in 1867, and the two subsequent volumes appeared at later dates after the author's death - completed from extensive notes left by Marx himself.

What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories.

The story of philosophy is an epic tale, spanning civilizations and continents. It explores some of the most creative minds in history. But not since the long-popular classic by Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy, published in 1945, has there been a comprehensive and entertaining single-volume history of this great, intellectual, world-shaping journey.

Description
"A wonderful, splendid book - a book that should be ready by every American, student or otherwise, who wants to understand his country, its true history, and its hope for the future." (Howard Fast)
For much of his life, historian Howard Zinn chronicled American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version taught in schools - with its emphasis on great men in high places - to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace.
Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of - and in the words of - America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles - the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality - were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance.
Covering Christopher Columbus' arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history.

Incredible book
Awesome and powerful book showing history from the ground up more than the top down like you usually see. Narrator was great, though admittedly I found my attention wandering now and then, but that's probably more me than the narrator.
Don't hesitate to get this one!

Eye opening!
I like hearing the story’s that you never hear. It is kind of scary when you realize who really runs the show.
Not sure why the Declaration of Independence was even written after listening to this book, only a few leaders understood it but $$ seems to be the driving force at any cost.
How or when will it end?

True to its title
This recounting of American history is, very much so, a people's history. Howard has a very good sense of when to editorialize a smidge and when to just explain things. He also does this thing where, to relay the public's feeling of living through the hardships of X, he'll quote songs from that time to set the appropriate mood... and quite a few times too, I noticed. The quirk is appreciated.
Narrator Jeff Zinn has a much more authoritative-sounding (pardon) voice in this performance than some other the other stuff I've heard from him. As for quirks in the audio or narration, there's nothing that I can fault him for. However, I noticed a weird problem where the volume levels would suddenly get a lot louder or a lot quieter. It's not very jarring or anything, but definitely noticeable when it appears in the much later part of the book.
For what it's worth, as a Canadian who knew practically nothing about American history, I can safely say I walked away with quite a bit of information and would happily pay the full price had I not snagged it with my free credit. ;^)
Excellent work all around; highly recommend.

An extraordinary audiobook
This was well worth the 34 1/2 hours I spent listening. Jeff Zinn did a superb job narrating this massive book written by his historian father. I particularly liked his last chapter when he summed up his philosophy and optimism for a better country that would protect and care for children around the world. Reading or listening to it gives one a very different perspective on world events from the discovery of America to the 90s and beyond. Congratulations to Mr. ZInn for his massive amount of research, and to Jeff for having the patience to read the entire work so well. I am glad your father left this world before seeing the chaos that we are in today. This book was a real eye-opener for me, thank you. Liona Boyd

History indeed ...
Reminders of social movements needed to advance human life is retold as is needed. People die and the slow painful advance of standards is lost. The suffering goes unmarked. The pain and suffering costs for advanced modern standards of living where seemed needed. Needed or not where paid. Human greed was tied to human ignorance. modern society basis it's new standards on the advances of education. This work be huge. A daring effort by Mr H. ZINN. He himself admitted the subject is too large for one man in one life time to SHOW the history. But he opens the eye of enough person's who may see the need to care to know something as knowing nothing advances the human race backwards. And the whole of the world could be what TV in Star Trek promised. Being freedom from meaningless toil and value of money faded as there is no want but to live a life having meaning.
