Praise
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
“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
“It is possible that, if the United States goes the way of nineteenth-century Britain, Chomsky’s interpretation will be the standard among historians a hundred years from now. ” —The New Yorker
“America’s most useful citizen.” —The Boston Globe
“Noam Chomsky . . . is a major scholarly resource. Not to have read [him] . . . is to court genuine ignorance.” —The Nation
“America, in [Chomsky’s] view, must be reined in, and he makes the case with verve. . . . We should understand it as a plea to end American hypocrisy, to introduce a more consistently principled dimension to American relations with the world, and, instead of assuming American benevolence, to scrutinize critically how the US government actually exercises its still-unmatched power. ” —The New York Review of Books
