• Saving Private Power, published in June 2000 by Soft Skull Press, argues that far from its reputation as a "Good War," World War II was a byproduct of Western imperial greed. He also suggests the Allies committed barbaric war crimes. The title is spun from Saving Private Ryan, Steven Spielberg's 1998 film. Saving Private Power was reprinted in 2005 by Vox Pop under the title There Is No Good War: The Myths of World War II.
• The Murdering of My Years: Artists and Activists Making Ends Meet, published in 2003 by Soft Skull Press, collects interviews with two-dozen activists and artists to explore how their efforts to survive in a capitalist society negatively affect their lives. The title is borrowed from Charles Bukowski.
• The Seven Deadly Spins: Exposing the Lies Behind War Propaganda, published in 2004 by Common Courage Press, argues that every American war has been justified with the same seven "spins," or themes of government propaganda.
• 50 American Revolutions You're Not Supposed to Know: Reclaiming American Patriotism is forthcoming from the Disinformation Company. Scheduled to be released in September, Z promises to "compile 50 episodes, moments, events, and people from American history that might invoke radical pride. ?Patriotism? is (justifiably) a dirty word on the Left...maybe it?s time to take a look back and reclaim what?s come before so we can re-invent the concept of ?patriot acts? in the name of inspiring new ideas and new actions."
