About this title

Review:

A powerful section covers the British and US role in organizing and supporting Suharto's murderous military coup of 1965 -- The Ecologist

It is this explosive nature of his work which makes Chomsky such an important thinker and activist today... -- Left Republican Review

One of the most implacable critics of American imperialism. [This book] represent[s] a good guide to Chomsky's current thinking -- Socialist Review

The book is an interesting and provocative study which is rigorously and persuasively argued -- Shelley Walia, The Tribune

[This book has] passion, awesome erudition and a style that is surgically analytical, mocking, funny and challenging -- The Daily Yomiuri (China)
