Chomsky's thoughts on terrorism, US foreign policy, and the meaning and true impact of militarism in the world today, based on a series of talks and conversations in March and May of 2002. He reviews the history of war crimes and delivers his now-famous analysis of the double-standards and hypocrisy of Western governments, and the role of the media and intellectuals. With clarity and forcefulness, he places terrorist acts in the context of American foreign intervention throughout the postwar decades - in Vietnam, Central America, the Middle East and elsewhere. And this new volume includes Chomsky's personal reflections on the sources of his optimism, and the connection, if any, between his work in linguistics and his political activism.
Written by Noam Chomsky, published by Seven Stories Press, 2003.
