A caveat about this archive - this was a long time ago, I'm not sure I'm still so excited about Chomsky. Agree with him, hell yes, but not quite so big of a fan.

the book train right along, I’d like to move on to some Chomsky. I have
recently become a huge fan of Noam Chomsky’s political commentaries.
This book did not disappoint. Chomsky does a fantastic job of examining the
power structure and government in the United States and how it affects
worldwide relations without resorting to bitterness or cynicism. Chomsky always
has a way of encouraging people to use their own heads and examine the reality
of things rather than just accepting how they are. I love reading interviews
with Chomsky because he calls things how he sees them, even with the person
interviewing him. If he doesn’t agree, he politely, but firmly, disagrees.
Right then and there. He takes on most of the important issues of today.
Verdict:
I love Chomsky. If you need any type of perspective on the US and the world
today, this is a great place to start. If you have any illusions on how the US
works in relation to the rest of the world, Chomsky will relieve you of them.
Read it!
