Review:
Publisher's description. Noam Chomsky is the world's most influential political commentator, bar none. Here he presents a comprehensive examination of contemporary America, its behaviour at home and abroad, its single-minded pursuit and exercise of power. * Penguin * The west's most prominent critic of US imperialism . . . the closest thing in the English-speaking world to an intellectual superstar * The Guardian * One of the greatest, most radical public thinkers of our time. When the sun sets on the American empire, as it will, as it must, Noam Chomsky's work will survive * Arundhati Roy * Noam Chomsky is a global phenomenon . . . he may be the most widely read American voice on foreign policy on the planet today * New York Times Book Review * A plea to end American hypocrisy, to introduce a more consistently principled dimension to American relations with the world, and, to scrutinize critically how the US government actually exercises its still-unmatched power * New York Review of Books * Chomsky's work is neither theoretical, nor ideological: it is passionate and righteous * Times Literary Supplement *
