This important volume of previously unpublished interviews conducted by award-winning radio journalist David Barsamian features Noam Chomsky discussing US policies in an increasingly unstable world. With his famous insight, lucidity, and redoubtable grasp of history, Chomsky offers his views on the invasion and occupation of Iraq and the doctrine of "preemptive" strikes against so-called rogue states, warning of the growing threat to international peace posed by the US drive for domination. In his inimitable style, Chomsky also dissects the propaganda system that fabricates a mythic past and airbrushes inconvenient facts out of history.
