description: In an incisive thorough analysis of the current international situation Noam Chomsky examines the way that the United States despite the rise of Europe and Asia still largely sets the terms of global discourse. Drawing on a wide range of examples from the sordid history of U.S. involvement with Cuba to the sanctions on Iran he details how America's rhetoric of freedom and human rights so often diverges from its actions. He delves deep into the conflicts in Iraq Afghanistan and Israel-Palestine providing unexpected and nuanced insights into the workings of imperial power on our increasingly chaotic planet. And in a new afterword he addresses the election of Donald Trump and what it shows about American society.
