When England’s rugby team set off to France to defend their world title, few outsiders gave them much chance. A run of poor results and injuries left them looking under-prepared and outgunned. When they struggled to beat the USA and were destroyed 36-0 by South Africa, a record defeat for England in the World Cup, many feared they wouldn’t even qualify from their group.
Blackheath FC rugby club, or ‘The Club’ as it is known holds a very special place in the history of rugby football. Not only is it the oldest open club in existence, but it and its representatives have played a crucial part in the development of the game itself; indeed over 240 players of international standing have played in The Club’s famous red-and-black shirt – a record that cannot be matched by any other rugby club.

The fighter bombers appeared from nowhere… there was no time to think about firing back, nor even to unharness the horses pulling the artillery. Wolfram buried his head in his arms as the opening salvo exploded all around him. The ground shuddered and jolted as heavy weaponry thumped into the soil. It was like a giant fist punching the ground. Explosion after explosion. Thump – thump – thump.
Since its landmark publication in 1980, a people’s history of the united states has had six new editions, sold in excess of 1.7 million copies, become required classroom reading, and been turned into an acclaimed play. Not merely a successful book, a people’s history 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.
Now, Howard Zinn, cartoonist Mike Konopacki, and historian Paul Buhle have collaborated to retell, in vibrant graphic detail, a most immediate and relevant chapter of a People’s History: the centuries- long story of America’s actions in the world. Narrated by Zinn himself, this version opens with the events of 9/11 and then jumps back to explore the cycles of U.S. expansionism and intervention from wounded knee to Iraq, stopping along the way at world war 1, Vietnam the Iranian revolution, and central America. The book also follows Zinn’s own story, as the son of poor jewish immigrants becomes one of the America’s leading historians.
