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
