World Orders Old and New Author:Noam Chomsky Chomsky takes on the international scene since 1945, devoting particular attention to events following the collapse of the Soviet Union. He develops a forceful critique of Western government, from imperialist foreign policies to the Clinton administration's empty promises to the poor.
Written before 9/11, this is Chomsky's book on Middle East politics in the world environment left by the ending of the Cold War. Interesting stuff, if a bit chilling at times.
