"To celebrate the millionth copy sold of Howard Zinn's great People's History of the United States, Zinn drew on the words of Americans-some famous, some little known-across the range of American history. These words were read by a remarkable cast at an event held at the 92nd Street YMHA in New York. City that included James Earl Jones, Alice Walker, Jeff Zinn, Kurt Vonnegut, Alfre Woodard, Marisa Tomei, Danny Glover, Myla Pitt, Harris Yulin, and Andre Gregory." "From that celebration, this book was born Collected here under one cover is a brief history of America told through dramatic readings applauding the enduring spirit of dissent."--BOOK JACKET.
