Features: This book is one of the selected works of Noam Chomsky. The several works translated in this collection were written in different periods and are representative works of Chomsky's political commentary, covering the core content of his political theories. They explore the foreign policy trajectory of the United States since the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and the September 11th attacks, particularly delivering a strong critique of the U.S. media and public opinion, which have long claimed to be "value-neutral." Furthermore, the collection provides a profound analysis of the current state and causes of international terrorism—one of the major hot issues in the world today. This collection will help domestic scholars and readers gain a deeper understanding and research into Western, particularly U.S., political, diplomatic, military, and cultural policies. This is also the reason we introduced this book. Of course, as a Western scholar with a unique perspective, Chomsky's views and approaches on certain issues may differ from ours, and we believe readers will understand and grasp this. The book includes chapters such as: The Triumph of Radicalism; America and the World: Please Step Back; In the Name of the State; East Timor on the Brink of Collapse; The Significance of the Seattle Events, etc.
