Synopsis

In a potent act of myth busting, Noam Chomsky draws controversial parallels between the presidencies of JFK and Ronald Reagan. With a particular focus on the Vietnam War, Chomsky brinks to light damning evidence of Kennedy's involvement in the worst excesses of American politics. For anyone persuaded that changing the world is simply a question of changing its leaders this book will act both as a bitter pill and a powerful stimulus to action.
