"Hegemony or Survival"--that's the choice. Either the US continues to pursue policies that advance our military might by means of aggressive global policies that terrorize (typically) weak states abroad and flirt with global disaster, or we survive.
Typical Chomsky, Hegemony or Survival pulls together a wide variety of excellent sources to provide even readers unfamiliar with US foreign policy and current events an impressively well-supported picture of the US on the global stage. In many ways, this book is the history of the US that doesn't get covered in schools and that shockingly and shamefully escapes the American media--almost entirely.
Whatever one's political perspective, I strongly recommend anyone who believes in democracy and American ideals to read this.
(By the way, also typical of Chomsky, this book is written in an easy-to-read style and by no means requires a scholar to be understood and appreciated).
