Description
The Myth of American Idealism: How U.S. Foreign Policy Endangers the World A comprehensive critique of US power, tracing the history of military and economic activity around the world, and exploring how dominant elites have pushed self-serving myths about the country's commitment to spreading democracy. Chomsky and Robinson examine the impact of US foreign policy on countries worldwide, from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and argue that the same kinds of myths that led to disastrous wars are now driving us closer to conflicts with Russia and China. The authors examine the role of US policy in exacerbating global threats, including nuclear proliferation and climate change. For over half a century, Chomsky has committed to exposing governing ideologies and criticizing his country's unchecked use of military power. This book offers a thorough and devastating analysis of the consequences of US foreign policy, making for a highly readable and thought-provoking entry into Chomsky's conclusions after a lifetime of thought and activism. With its urgent and provocative tone, The Myth of American Idealism is a timely and important contribution to the ongoing debate about US power and its impact on the world.
