But as Noam Chomsky argues in this devastating analysis, America shares features with many of the regimes it insists are failing and constitute a danger to their neighbours.Offering a comprehensive and radical examination of America past and present, Chomsky shows how this lone superpower – which topples foreign governments, invades states that threaten its interests and imposes sanctions on regimes it opposes – has stretched its own democratic institutions to breaking point.And how an America in crisis places the world ever closer to the brink of nuclear and environmental disaster.'The mighty Chomsky lands some crunching punches. His analysis of U.S. double standards is spot-on' ObserverCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
