Since its landmark publication in 1980, the original history has sold more than 1.7 million copies. More than a successful book, it 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.Historians Howard Zinn and Paul Buhle and cartoonist Mike Konopacki have collaborated to retell, in vibrant graphic form, a most immediate and relevant chapter of A People's History of American Empire: the story of America's ever-growing role on the world stage. Narrated by Zinn, this version opens with the events of 9/11 and then tracks back to explore the cycles of US expansionism from Wounded Knee to Iraq, while taking in World War I, Central America, Vietnam, and the Iranian revolution.

Fred Mouse was always a bit strange and nervy. Which was perfectly understandable, given that his mother was a bit strange too (not least because of her exceptionally long tail) and his father drank (milk, that is). When both of his parents come to unfortunate and sticky ends Fred sets off to fulfill his secret dream.
Murray Ball moves on from Footrot Flats to introduce this loveable rodent from a troubled home. Fred's story is told in Murray Ball's signature style, with cartoon illustrations throughout.
