Synopsis
The conflicts in Kosovo and East Timor, looked at side-by-side by Noam Chomsky, starkly illuminate the strategies of the Western powers in the new century. Chomsky convincingly argues that humanitarianism was not the moving force behind NATO’s intervention in Yugoslavia, and that there, as in East Timor, strategic concerns were dominant while the fate of the civilian population was incidental.

Review
“Judged in terms of the power, range, novelty, and influence of his thought, Noam Chomsky is arguably the most important intellectual alive.”—The New York Times
“Better than anyone else now writing, Chomsky combines indignation with insight, erudition with moral passion. That is a difficult achievement, and an encouraging one.”—In These Times
“On the one hand we have the established media, the respectable community of foreign affairs analysts, the government—and on the other, Noam Chomsky.”—Nation
“For Chomsky, the ‘official doctrine’ ... of military intervention to safeguard human rights is as much a sham as the ‘New World Order’ trumpeted during the Gulf War.”—Guardian
“A 20th-century Rousseau.”—The Boston Globe
