Noam Chomsky is Institute Professor (Emeritus) in the M.I.T. Department of Linguistics and Philosophy. His work is widely credited with having revolutionized the field of modern linguistics. Chomsky is the author of numerous best-selling political works, including the New York Times bestseller Hegemony or Survival, Failed States, Imperial Ambitions, What We Say Goes, and Hopes and Prospects.
Chomsky's book is . . . a polemic designed to awaken Americans from
complacency. America, in his view, must be reined in, and he makes
the case with verve. . . . We should understand it as a plea to end
American hypocrisy, to introduce a more consistently principled
dimension to American relations with the world, and, instead of
assuming American benevolence, to scrutinize critically how the US
government actually exercises its still-unmatched power.
--The New York Review of Books Chomsky is a global phenomenon. . .
. He may be the most widely read American voice on foreign policy
on the planet.
--The New York Times Book Review With relentless logic, Chomsky
bids us to listen closely to what our leaders tell us--and to
discern what they are leaving out. . . . Agree with him or not, we
lose out by not listening.
--BusinessWeek How did we ever get to be an empire? The writings of
Noam Chomsky--America's most useful citizen--are the best answer to
that question.
--The Boston Globe It is possible that, if the United States goes
the way of nineteenth-century Britain, Chomsky's interpretation
will be the standard among historians a hundred years from now.
--The New Yorker For anyone wanting to find out more about the
world we live in . . . there is one simple answer: read Noam
Chomsky.
--New Statesman
