Purchase options and add-ons

In this first collection of interviews since the bestselling 9-11: Was There an Alternative?, our foremost intellectual activist examines crucial questions of U.S. foreign policy.

Timely, urgent, and powerfully elucidating, this important volume of previously unpublished interviews conducted by award-winning radio journalist David Barsamian features Noam Chomsky discussing America's policies in an increasingly unstable world. With his famous insight, lucidity, and redoubtable grasp of history, Chomsky offers his views on the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the doctrine of "preemptive" strikes against so-called rogue states, and the prospects of the second Bush administration, warning of the growing threat to international peace posed by the U.S. drive for domination. In his inimitable style, Chomsky also dissects the propaganda system that fabricates a mythic past and airbrushes inconvenient facts out of history.

Barsamian, recipient of the ACLU's Upton Sinclair Award for independent journalism, has conducted more interviews and radio broadcasts with Chomsky than has any other journalist. Enriched by their unique rapport, Imperial Ambitions explores topics Chomsky has never before discussed, among them the 2004 presidential campaign and election, the future of Social Security, and the increasing threat, including devastating weather patterns, of global warming. The result is an illuminating dialogue with one of the leading thinkers of our time―and a startling picture of the turbulent times in which we live.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not new .....but still good...
    Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2006

    Reading Chomsky in the USA for the first time must be some kind of a shock for the average american...but for us in third world countries is nothing more than a reminder of our daily reality. What Chomsky says about propaganda and mind control in USA ...well..kind of make us think. Is it possible that with all the info that you get in the internet today ...you can not be aware of the facts...??? Is it possible that everybody in the world knew that the invasion of Iraq was not justified and that the majority of USA citizens did not??? Why the USA people are so afraid..??? Can somebody explain this ??? Nobody hates americans for being americans ( very nice people for all I know) or for living in a great and beautiful country ...so why be afraid?? Now..your foreign policy toward us has been unfair for the majority of our people and in some countries ( Central America) supported genocidal actions. And the people of the USA has never being informed of the truth by the mainstream media or by the people upstairs....Ok...but you can do your homework and your own research...and learn what is really happening...and then you'll know why your own Govt' keeps you in a state of fear.. Does the american public cares or not when they read the news regarding USA military torturing innocent people ??? How come they are surprised about this...and we are not?? How come that we know this is standard procedure in countries invaded by the USA or controlled by them using local military.. By the way, some of the local military leaders, trained in the infamous Escuela de las Americas.. And the average american does not know this!!!?? We think it should be in your interest to learn the truth.

    We in Latin America, in almost every country, suffered long and cruel dictatorships ( a lot of them sponsored by USA Govts') ...so we HAVE REAL reasons to be afraid of...the USA.. We do not live in the constant fear that Mr. Chomsky describes in his book... well, we do not live in constant fear , but we are afraid of what the future will bring for our children with the kind of fundamentalism that rules today the only superpower in the world....rulers that look down on us as if we were sub-humans or just "naughty children"...
    Chomsky...always a good read. Maybe he is not 100% true..but he is close.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    Great introduction to the views of world renowned political dissident and critic of US foreign policy par excellence Noam Chomsky. Once again teamed up with long time friend and interviewer David Barsamian the pair cover:
    -imperial ambitions of the US power-elite
    -how language is used and abused in the service of power
    -what "regime change" is all about along with wars of aggression
    -history and memory and the complete absence of the latter despite the former being long and present for all willing to see
    -the myth that US power is benevolent but sometimes just makes honest mistakes in her quest to bring democracy and prosperity to all

    Chomsky states his goal here, as always, is to help YOU defend yourself intellectually.
    You don't get that from the education system.

    Noam Chomsky does believe that as horrible as things are "another world is possible", but a more just and sane world is only possible if all of us work together to make it a reality. In other words, get active.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A little dated in 2010 but still classic Chomsky all the same.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    I have no criticism of the book,its content or Noam Chomsky himself. In fact, I have been a Noam Chomsky admirer for decades. However, it now bwing the year 2010, most of the material and insight in this little book is no longer terribly new or shocking to many. The book is excelent in its observations and conclusions and I think it would be a great book for any reader who is for whatever reason unfamiliar with either Chomsky or the historical & moral aspects of 911, and wide reaching US Foreign Policy. When purchasing (and you can NOW get it now VERY affordably) just keep in mind when this book was published and enjoy the wisdom and thoughtfulness of one of Americas greatest social critics & activists.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2007

    I hate reading this guy but I feel that it is my obligation. Mr. Chomsky has to be about as far left as left can go. But he is so well informed and so persuasive. He has got all the political arguments that most of us don't even want to consider. But you can't read Mr. Chomsky without opening up your mind. If you have a closed mind you won't be able to read him at all. In a debate Alan Dersherwitz accused Mr. Chomsky of being from outer space where he resided on the planet "Chomsky." And Dersherwitz who lives himself outside the Milky Way on the planet "Dersherwitz" should know an alien when he sees one.

    This book should be a compulsory reading for anyone who has even a passing interest in world affairs, specially in today's uncertain times. Chomsky again penetrates to the heart of the matter, with adequate evidence and laid bare the hypocrisy that is power.
