The bestselling author and activist "has delivered another impressive
argument that the U.S. flouts international law when it finds it
convenient to do so" ( Publishers Weekly ). In this still-timely
classic, Noam Chomsky argues that the real "rogue" states are the
United States and its allies. Chomsky turns his penetrating gaze
toward US involvement in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, the
Caribbean, and Latin America to trace the enduring combined effects of
military domination and economic imperialism on these regions.
"Noam Chomsky is like a medic attempting to cure a national epidemic
of selective amnesia . . . [ Rogue States is] a timely guide to the
tactics that the powerful employ to keep power concentrated and people
compliant . . . Chomsky's work is crucial at a time when our empire
perpetually disguises its pursuit of power under the banners of 'aid,'
'humanitarian intervention,' and 'globalization.' Americans have to
begin deciphering the rhetoric. Chomsky's a good place to start." —
The Village Voice "World-famous MIT linguist Chomsky has long kept
up a second career as a cogent voice of the hard left, excoriating
American imperialism, critiquing blinkered journalists and attacking
global economic injustice." — Publishers Weekly "Nothing escapes
[Chomsky's] attention . . . [ Rogue States is] wonderfully lucid."
— PeaceWork Praise for Noam Chomsky "Chomsky is a global
phenomenon . . . perhaps the most widely read voice on foreign
policy on the planet." — The New York Times Book Review "The
conscience of the American people." — New Statesman "One of the
radical heroes of our age . . . a towering intellect . . .
powerful, always provocative." — The Guardian
