<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Lucidly written, thoroughly documented, and featuring a new Afterword by the author, "Hegemony or Survival" is today's most influential thinker's definitive statement on America's alleged quest for global dominance.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b> Reading Chomsky today is sobering and instructive . . . He is a global phenomenon . . . perhaps the most widely read voice on foreign policy on the planet. -<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b> <p/>An immediate national bestseller, <i>Hegemony or Survival</i> demonstrates how, for more than half a century the United States has been pursuing a grand imperial strategy with the aim of staking out the globe. Our leaders have shown themselves willing-as in the Cuban missile crisis-to follow the dream of dominance no matter how high the risks. World-renowned intellectual Noam Chomsky investigates how we came to this perilous moment and why our rulers are willing to jeopardize the future of our species. <p/>With the striking logic that is his trademark, Chomsky tracks the U.S. government's aggressive pursuit of full spectrum dominance and vividly lays out how the most recent manifestations of the politics of global control-from unilateralism to the dismantling of international agreements to state terrorism-cohere in a drive for hegemony that ultimately threatens our existence. Lucidly written, thoroughly documented, and featuring a new afterword by the author, <i>Hegemony or Survival </i>is a definitive statement from one of today's most influential thinkers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"If, for reasons of chance, or circumstance (or sloth), you have to pick just one book on the subject of the American Empire, I'd say pick this one.
