This book provides easy access to Chomsky's libertarian philosophy and political analysis taken from a wide variety of sources, many never widely published and spanning four decades. The reader is furnished with a truly comprehensive window into Chomsky's anarchist convictions, which, while ever-present in his analysis are left largely misunderstood or ignored. In seeking to combat the great challenges facing humanity, Chomsky's analysis and the traditions that bore it must not be left in obscurity.

One of America's most popular speakers with insights about US foreign policy like: Contrary to what everyone - left or right says, the US achieved its major objectives in Indochina. Vietnam was demolished. There's no danger that successful development there will provide a model for other nations in the region. At exactly the moment it invaded Panama the Bush administration announced new high technology sales to China and plans to lift a ban on loans to Iraq...Compared to Bush's buddies in Baghdad and Beijing, Noriega looked like Mother Theresa. Prospects are pretty dim for Eastern Europe. The West has a plan for it. They want to turn large parts of it into a new, easily exploitable part of the Third World.
