Rogue States | Praise
"Chomsky contends that the U.S. (and, sometimes, its allies) has ... behaved
as the biggest rogue state, ignoring international laws and norms and acting
only in the richest American's interests.... Chomsky's research can bring home
disturbing issues that the mainstream media miss.... Chomsky has delivered
another impressive argument that the U.S. flouts international
law when it finds it convenient to do so."
—Publishers Weekly
"Noam Chomsky is like a medic attempting to cure a national epidemic
of selective amnesia. …Through shrewd analysis of internal documents
and play-by-play accounts of the State Department's strategic moves, he reveals,
for instance, that the American government supports state terror in Colombia
... Rogue States best serves the converted as a reference manual while
giving others a timely guide to the tactics that the powerful employ to keep
power concentrated and people compliant. Although it takes a dedicated reader
to plow through the mountains of information, Chomsky's work is crucial
at a time when our empire perpetually disguises its pursuit of power
under the banners of "aid," "humanitarian intervention,"
and now "globalization." Americans have to begin deciphering the rhetoric.
Chomsky's a good place to start."
