Noam Chomsky, the world's foremost intellectual activist, presents an irrefutable analysis of America's pursuit of total domination and the catastrophic consequences that are sure to follow. From the funding of repressive regimes to the current `war on terror', the toppling of governments counter to its beliefs to the invasion of Iraq, America pursues its global strategy no matter what the cost. With the rigour and insight that have made him our most important `unraveller of accredited lies', Noam Chomsky reveals the truth and the true motives behind America's quest for dominance - and seeks also to show us how the world may yet step back from the brink.
