Reviews

"A volatile, serious contribution to the debate over American's role as the globe's sole remaining superpower." -San Francisco Chronicle

"Chomsky is the Left's answer to William F. Buckley. Deterring Democracy can sparkle with inspiration." --Los Angeles Times

"[Offers] a deepened understanding of the dynamics of global politics before, during, and after the Cold War . . . A compendious and thought-provoking work." --The New Statesman

"Noam Chomsky . . . is a major scholarly resource. Not to have read [him] . . . is to court genuine ignorance." --The Nation
