"Reading Chomsky today is sobering and instructive . . . He
is a global phenomenon . . . perhaps the most widely read
voice on foreign policy on the planet." The New York
Times Book Review
An immediate national bestseller, Hegemony or Survival
demonstrates how, for more than half a century the United
States has been pursuing a grand imperial strategy with the
aim of staking out the globe. Our leaders have shown
themselves willing-as in the Cuban missile crisis-to follow
the dream of dominance no matter how high the risks. World-renowned intellectual Noam Chomsky investigates how we
came to this perilous moment and why our rulers are willing
to jeopardize the future of our species.With the striking
logic that is his trademark, Chomsky tracks the U.S.
government's aggressive pursuit of "full spectrum dominance"
and vividly lays out how the most recent manifestations of
the politics of global control-from unilateralism to the
dismantling of international agreements to state
terrorism-cohere in a drive for hegemony that ultimately
threatens our existence. Lucidly written, thoroughly
documented, and featuring a new afterword by the author,
Hegemony or Survival is a definitive statement from one of
today's most influential thinkers.
