In this collection of essays from 1969-2013, many in book form for the first tim
e, Noam Chomsky exposes the real nature of state power. With unrelenting logic,
he holds the arguments of empire up to critical examination and shatters the myt
hs of those who protect the power and privilege of the few against the interests
and needs to the many. Covering subjects like 'Human Intelligence and the Envir
onment', 'Terror, Justice and Self-Defence' and 'The Welfare-Warfare state', thi
s is an indispensable compilation of searing insights into the state of our mode
rn world.
