A literate yet accessible examination of how democracy has failed in the USA, by the most renowned voice in geopolitics, Noam Chomsky. The United States asserts the right to use military force against "failed states" around the world. As Chomsky argues in this devastating analysis, America shares characteristics with many of the regimes it insists are failing and pose a threat to their neighbors. Offering a comprehensive and radical examination of America, past and present, Chomsky shows how this singular superpower – which overthrows foreign governments, invades states that threaten its interests, and imposes sanctions on opposing regimes – has stretched its own democratic institutions to the limit. And how an America in crisis brings the world ever closer to the brink of nuclear and environmental disaster.
'The powerful Chomsky lands some crushing blows. His analysis of the double standards of the U.S. is accurate.'Pages: 320, Dimensions: 12.9x12.9cm
