If you've read anything else by Chomsky, you know exactly what you're getting -- the argument of a brilliant man who knows history better than god but has incendiary views. Chomsky does a good job explaining the context surrounding the hatred. Those who disagree with him will say he is an apologist for terror.

This book goes through US foreign policy in the last several decades highlighting many examples to support the argument that "when they do it to us we call it terrorism; when we do it to them we call it foreign policy".

The examples he gives are of situations that are likely done justice (or mentioned) in your history class. It'll make you ashamed of America for its past misdeeds and of yourself for your ignorance about history.
