I have had many people ask me if there is a book which does for world history what my book A People's History of the United States does for this country. I always responded that I know of only one book that accomplishes this extremely difficult task, and that is Chris Harman's A People's History of the World. It is an indispensable volume on my reference bookshelf. -Howard Zinn The left ... has few accounts which convey as well as this book does the broad sweep of human history. -Robin Blackburn, author of The Making of New World Slavery and The American Crucible Skryť popis
