Imperial Grand Strategy: The Conquest Of Iraq And The Assault On Democracy from Noam Chomsky is a provocative collection of a complete and informative collection of two powerful lectures and a forty-five minute interview with Chomsky himself on the political perspectives and paradigm-altering concepts of history and the ideological constructs of the great mind, Imperial Grand Strategy offers Noam Chomsky's personal comprehension of the philosopher, as well as an endlessly fascinating grasp of the political and societal constructs which are fueling the war from America as well as the U.S.'s disgraceful history of manifest-destiny in democracy creation abroad. Imperial Grand Strategy is recommended as a simply outstanding collection of remarkable ideals and principles from Noam Chomsky's accomplished and respected works.

Noam Chomsky shows once again his lucidity concerning the affairs related to the U.S. foreign policy. And, even being in England, he criticizes Tony Blair. Chomsky's broad understanding of the opression of the people in the third world makes him a true humanist compareble to Thomas More. No wonder he is the most important intellectual alive.

We live in a popular culture dominated by career-building egomaniacs. What a refreshing change to hear a measured evaluation of a subject conducted by a reflective person who reaches selectively into a vast supply of historical knowledge! It's as if we were listening to a voice from the last five hundred years of trial-and-error.
For these reasons, Chomsky may be my favorite living analyst . I'd vote for him to be our philosopher-king!

Noam Chomsky continues to be the best source of information and inspiration for people who know the media are so corrupt that they rarely report the important stories. And he always points out our ability and opportunity to non violently influance our government. No revolution necessary. Hard work works! And Chomsky tells us a lot about what to do
