The Rule of Force in Current Affairs
Noam Chomsky, South End
In Rogue States, Noam Chomsky holds the world’s superpowers to their own standards of the rule of law—and finds them appallingly lacking. Described in a 1998 profile in the New York Times as “an exploder of received truths,” Noam Chomsky is the world’s most informed, controversial, and articulate opponent of political hypocrisy and abuse of power.

Rationalizing U.S. Intervention After the Cold War
Stephen R. Shalom, South End
Looking at Iraq, Libya, Grenada, Panama, Biafra, the Dominican Republic, Burundi, and other post Cold War hot spots, Shalom carefully documents the pretexts for U.S. intervention. “Lucidly argued and carefully documented, Stephen Shalom’s study of the pretexts for intervention is an invaluable guide to the recent past and likely future.” —Noam Chomsky
“After closing this book, one wonders, for example, whether U.S. humanitarian aid to Somalia might not be imperialism without the empire-builder’s trademark pith helmet.”
—Cynthia H. Enloe, author of Bananas, Beaches and Bases

Year 501
|
Noam Chomsky, South End “Year 501 is another awesome achievement by Noam Chomsky. It is a devastating array of information about the U.S. role in the world, placed in the long historical perspective of the 500 years that followed the voyages of Columbus. The result is a wonderful single-volume education in history and world politics.” –Howard Zinn
