50 American Revolutions You’re Not Supposed To Know
Mickey Z
Mickey Z is a self-taught, blog-made historian of the new terrible America of the 21 st century. Osama's favorite historian William Blum says Mickey writes history for "Americans who have lots of holes in the head about their country's behavior." This latest book should appeal to a quite different group of Americans, those with the spirit of revolution upon which this country was founded, who don't quite know what to do with that spirit. To cut and run, as president W would say, though not from Iraq, but from the United States itself, is not the answer. To stay and do something about it, that is the answer Mickey proposes. Cobbled together from the day to day dialogue of Mickey's own weblog this small, handsome book is an inspiring collection of short essays from America's social, political and artistic history, little big moments that make this country great despite the enormous amount of evidence you can read elsewhere in other books by Blum, Howard Zinn, and Ramsey Clark. This is the America we want to believe in and love and pass on to our children, the America of Daniel Ellsberg's leak, of Lenny Bruce's foul mouth, of Rachel Carson groundbreaking book, of Patti Smith's rock n roll nigger, of Charles Bukowski's job at the Post Office, of Thomas Paine and the Bill of Rights, that America, the real America.
