Reviews
"World-famous MIT linguist [Noam 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.... [In Rogue States] Chomsky has delivered another impressive argument that the U.S. flouts international law when it finds it convenient to do so."
--Publishers Weekly "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."
--Village Voice "Nothing escapes [Chomsky's] attention... [Rogue States is] wonderfully lucid."
