With Howard's passing, for our nation's youth to discover this People's History of the American Empire, the comic book version of Chapter 12 of his best selling People's History of the US, might be the beginning of the American people waking up to how wrong has been our country's foreign policy and wars for economic advantage. We so need a national public reading of the whole People's History of the US.

This was a really great book, especially for a graphic art person like myself and someone who is interested in Howard's message. I do still need to read A People's History of the United States.
