description: "There is no shortage these days of critiques of American power, but Chomsky's formulation is quite special, and his tone--so free of exaggeration or misrepresentation--is all but unique. He avoids self-righteousness; is able to admit when a conclusion is uncertain or when the evidence allows for several possible conclusions; and is able to see inadequacies in the views or tactics of those who do not."
