The United States asserts the right to use military force against `failed states` around the globe. But as Noam Chomsky argues in this devastating analysis, America shares features with many of the regimes it insists are failing & constitute a danger to their neighbours. Offering a comprehensive & radical examination of America past & present, Chomsky shows how this lone superpower
- which topples foreign governments, invades states that threaten its interests & imposes sanctions on regimes it opposes
- has stretched its own democratic institutions to breaking point, & how an America in crisis places the world ever closer to the brink of nuclear & environmental disaster.
