Reviews

Praise for The Responsibility of Intellectuals
One of Newsweek's "14 nonfiction books you'll want to read this fall"

Praise for Noam Chomsky:
"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

"America's most useful citizen."
--The Boston Globe

"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

"For anyone wanting to find out more about the world we live in...there is one simple answer: read Noam Chomsky."
--The New Statesman

"[He] undermine[s]...the distinction between...'what we stand for' and 'what we do.' His views are held not only by American critics on the left but also by many people around the world."
--The New York Review of Books
