Book description
Hegemony or Survival
is Noam Chomsky's essential polemic on American foreign policy.
Noam Chomsky, the world's foremost intellectual activist, presents
an irrefutable analysis of America's pursuit of total domination and
the catastrophic consequences that are sure to follow.
From the funding of repressive regimes to the current 'war on
terror', from the toppling of governments opposing its beliefs to the
invasion of Iraq, America pursues its global strategy no matter what
the cost. With the rigour and insight that have made him our most
important unraveller of accredited lies, Noam Chomsky reveals the
truth and the true motives behind America's quest for dominance - and
seeks also to show how the world may yet step back from the brink.
