El retorno de un jesuita desterrado

Pocos hombres han sido tan fieles al compromiso con la vida, la libertad y sus semejantes desfavorecidos como Howard Zinn. Parece improbable que un profesor de historia se vea involucrado, o incluso sea protagonista, de tantas peripecias y aventuras como él lo fue. Bombardero en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, profesor en una institución para mujeres afroamericanas durante la lucha por los derechos civiles en el sur de los EE.UU., activista antibélico y enviado a Hanoi durante la Guerra de Vietnam, protector del hombre que sustrajo los Papeles del Pentágono… Estas y otras son las estaciones...
