Book description
At a time when the United States exacts a greater and greater power
over the rest of the world, America s leading voice of dissent needs to
be heard more than ever. In over thirty timely, accessible and urgent
essays, Chomsky cogently examines the burning issues of our post-9/11
world, covering the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the Bush presidency
and the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. This is an essential collection,
from a vital and authoritative perspective. Noam Chomsky has been
described as the world's greatest public intellectual. He is the author
of numerous bestselling political books, including
Hegemony or Survival
, Imperial Ambitions
, Failed States
and Perilous Power
, all of which are published by Hamish Hamilton and Penguin. Noam
Chomsky is a professor in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy
at MIT, and is widely credited with having revolutionized modern
linguistics.
