The Myth of American Idealism: How U.S. Foreign Policy Endangers the World Chomsky Noam (2024)

From one of the worlds most prominent thinkers, Noam Chomsky, writing with Nathan J. Robinson, comes an urgent warning about the threat US power poses to humanitys future. The book traces Americas pursuit of global domination and offers an incisive critique of the self-serving myths promoted by dominant elites in the United States. It examines Washingtons role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, showing how interventions have been justified through noble stories about humanitarian missions and benevolent intentions, while driving the world closer to conflict with Russia and China. Thorough, provocative and highly readable, it presents the conclusions Chomsky has reached after a lifetime of thought and activism.
