Reviews

"If, for reasons of chance, or circumstance (or sloth), you have to pick just one book on the subject of the American Empire, I'd say pick this one. It's the Full Monty. It's Chomsky at his best. Hegemony or Survival is necessary reading." --Arundhati Roy "Reading Chomsky today is sobering and instructive." --Samantha Power, The New York Times "Highly readable...cogent and provocative." --Publishers Weekly
