<p>There's "Them." And then there's "Us." Fortunately for Us, Gary Huck and Mike Konopacki are not with Them. Which makes sense, of course, since we're not talking about the Best Cartoonists of Big Business. Let the dozens - and dozens - of cartoonists who waffle on foreign policy issues and refuse to acknowledge the realities of a class society, battle it out for that title. These guys are LABOR's Best Cartoonists. No contest. They've taken their stand in the Them-vs.-Us conflict that's often - but not often enough - referred to as the class struggle. Their art reflects how they feel about the working class and what they think of the politicians and bosses who comprise that powerful and dangerous minority that rules America. Their cartoons speak directly to working people: pointedly addressing their needs and desires while exposing - with wit, whimsy and irony - the empty rhetoric, shameful greed, and conniving lies of the politicians and bosses who serve the interests of the rich. Their cartoons make us laugh and help us keep our sanity at the same time that they urge us into battle to create a better world. [From the Foreword by Michael Funke]</p>

Adapted from the bestselling grassroots history of the United States, the story of America in the world, told in comics formSince its landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has had six new editions, sold more than 1.7 million copies, become required classroom reading throughout the country, and been turned into an acclaimed play. More than a successful book, A People's History triggered a revolution in the way history is told, displacing the official versions with their emphasis on great men in high places to chronicle events as they were lived, from the bottom up.Now Howard Zinn, historian Paul Buhle, and cartoonist Mike Konopacki have collaborated to retell, in vibrant comics form, a most immediate and relevant chapter of A People's History: the centuries-long story of America's actions in the world. Narrated by Zinn, this version opens with the events of 9/11 and then jumps back to explore the cycles of U.S. expansionism from Wounded Knee to Iraq, stopping along the way at World War I, Central America, Vietnam, and the Iranian revolution. The book also follows the story of Zinn, the son of poor Jewish immigrants, from his childhood in the Brooklyn slums to his role as one of America's leading historians.Shifting from world-shattering events to one family's small revolutions, A People's History of American Empire presents the classic ground-level history of America in a dazzling new form.
