Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance - Tapa dura

Is America's superpower mentality leading us all towards global disaster?

The United States' pursuit of global domination is a recipe for planetary destruction, argues Noam Chomsky. The militarization of space, the development of ballistic missile defences and the flouting of numerous international agreements - all these are making the world far more dangerous and unstable, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Taking in the war on terrorism, the Bush doctrine and the all-important question "Is resistance possible?", Chomsky presents us with a lucid and powerful argument against the American government's aggressive strategies and sets the agenda for the next phase of debate and activism.

Noam Chomsky is the bestselling author of over 100 influential political books, including Hegemony or Survival, Imperial Ambitions, Failed States, Interventions, What We Say Goes, Hopes and Prospects, Making the Future, On Anarchism, Masters of Mankind and Who Rules the World. He has also been the subject of numerous books of biography and interviews and has collaborated with journalists on books such as Perilous Power, Gaza in Crisis, and On Palestine.

Noam Chomsky is Institute Professor (emeritus) in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Laureate Professor of Linguistics and Agnese Nelms Haury Chair in the Program in Environment and Social Justice at the University of Arizona.
