Read in September, 2006
nice short book about SNCC and Zinn's history with them. written in 1964, so it comes from a very particular political landscape and doesn't much go beyond freedom songs and nonviolent civil disobedience. period piece.

Read in January, 2005
This was Howard Zinn's first book. Written almost as soon as the history happened. No benefit of hindsight, just incisive, clear headed analysis.
