Description: "This work deals exclusively with terrorism, both State and retail, with special attention to the scandal surrounding the Iranian arms deal. With meticulous research and documentation, Chomsky demonstrates the true motifs of U.S. foreign policy and the role of the media in ensuring public ignorance of these motifs. He looks behind the rhetoric for a real and comprehensive view of the role of the U.S. government, giving special attention to the disinformation campaign surrounding the bombing of Libya."--Jacket.
