by NOAM CHOMSKY



Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
From the 1960s to the present, linguist Chomsky has been a prominent
critic of American foreign policy, influential in radical and scholarly
circles. This collection offers a broad sampling of Chomsky's best writing
on the subject. The essays are typical Chomsky: long, analytical, probing,
and controversial. Some have appeared in earlier collections; others are
expanded transcripts of recent lectures. The most familiar are concerned
with U.S. policy in Vietnam, Central America, and the Middle East. Editor
Peck gives us an overview of Chomsky's writings in his useful
introduction, though he tends to be extravagant in his praise. Even more
useful is a long interview with Chomsky himself. Highly recommended for
all academic libraries. Thomas A. Karel, Franklin & Marshall Coll. Lib.,
