Author: Noam Chomsky

Format: Paperback

Number of Pages: 132


Is the 'war on terrorism' winnable? If yes, how? Intelligent bombs in Iraq, humanitarian intervention in Kosovo. The USA never used the word 'war' to describe that. Now they are talking about war against a nameless enemy. Why? Are Arabs, by definition, necessarily funadmentalist, the West's new enemy? In this timely book Noam Chomsky uses his impeccable knowledge of United States foreign policy in the Middle East and South Asia to shed light on the rapidly shifting balance of world power. His wide ranging comments on the new 'war on terrorism', Osama Bin-Laden, US involvement with Afghanistan and the long term implications of America's military attacks abroad are informed, perceptive and provocative. Speaking out against responding to violence with violence, Chomsky hopes that an aroused public within the more free and democratic societies can direct policies towards a much more humane and honourable course. Noam Chomsky is a world renowned political activist, writer and professor of linguistics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he has taught since 1955. Chomsky has written and lectured widely on linguistics, philosophy, and politics and his efforts for greater democracy are celebrated by peace and social justice he mainstream press, and why is it important that they be paid more attention.
