About the Author:

Noam Chomsky is a world renowned linguist and one of our foremost social critics. He is Institute Professor in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT and the author of numerous books for Pluto Press.

Review:

Chomsky doing what he does best... An invaluable tool for deciphering the rhetoric the powerful use to rationalise their excesses. -- Socialist Standard In its wide range across the politics and economics of diverse countries, Rogue States makes an excellent introduction to Chomsky's thinking and an ideal Christmas present - treat yourself! -- Labour Left Briefing The indefatigable Chomsky ... One might reasonably ask just how deserving of our anger are Gap or McDonald's compared with the violent depradations of a superpower that alone vetoed a Security Council resolution calling on all states to observe international law?... For America to call itself the 'global policeman', he writes, is an insult to policemen everywhere, 'who are supposed to uphold the law, not tear it to pieces.' -- Guardian
