Reviews
Praise for Noam Chomsky "Chomsky is a global phenomenon . . . He may be the most widely read American voice on foreign policy on the planet." -- The New York Times Book Review "With relentless logic, Chomsky bids us to listen closely to what our leaders tell us--and to discern what they are leaving out . . . Agree with him or not, we lose out by not listening." -- BusinessWeek "For anyone wanting to find out more about the world we live in . . . there is one simple answer: read Noam Chomsky." -- The New Statesman "It is possible that, if the United States goes the way of nineteenth-century Britain, Chomsky's interpretation will be the standard among historians a hundred years from now. " -- The New Yorker "America's most useful citizen." -- The Boston Globe "Noam Chomsky . . . is a major scholarly resource. Not to have read [him] . . . is to court genuine ignorance." --The Nation "America, in [Chomsky's] view, must be reined in, and he makes the case with verve. . . . We should understand it as a plea to end American hypocrisy, to introduce a more consistently principled dimension to American relations with the world, and, instead of assuming American benevolence, to scrutinize critically how the US government actually exercises its still-unmatched power. " -- The New York Review of Books, "Blistering . . . The authors' top-versus-bottom analysis becomes strikingly perceptive in a final chapter analyzing how today a global elite benefits from world-killing fossil fuels. This offers rich food for thought." -- Publishers Weekly "[This book] couldn't be more timely. An outspoken critic of American empire for most of his life, here Chomsky zeroes in on the myths underlying that imperial expansion, namely the idea that the spread of democracy (no matter the methods) is an unalloyed good. The problem, of course, is that powerful men in small rooms who think themselves both wise and just tend to do the most damage." -- Literary Hub Praise for Noam Chomsky "Chomsky is a global phenomenon . . .

" -- The New York Review of Books, "A potent critique of the ideology behind America's foreign interventions and its status as a global power, and an treatise on how the nation's hubristic pursuit of 'spreading democracy' threatens not only the delicate balance of global peace, but the already-declining health of our planet. Who it's for: Chomskyites; policy wonks and casual critics of American recklessness alike." -- The Millions "Blistering . . .

" -- The New York Review of Books, "Well-written and thoroughly researched . . . The Myth of American Idealism is an ideal update of classic Chomsky for 2024 . . . The warning [Chomsky and Robinson] offer about the danger of US imperialism could not be more dire, and their clarion call to action could not be more clear." -- NACLA.org "A potent critique of the ideology behind America's foreign interventions and its status as a global power, and a treatise on how the nation's hubristic pursuit of 'spreading democracy' threatens not only the delicate balance of global peace, but the already-declining health of our planet.

Synopsis
"For anyone wanting to find out more about the world we live in . . . there is one simple answer: read Noam Chomsky." -- The New Statesman A sharp indictment of both American foreign policy and the national myths that support it, and an urgent warning of the threat that U.S. power poses to humanity's future The Myth of American Idealism offers a timely and comprehensive introduction to the incisive critiques of U.S. power that have made Noam Chomsky one of the most widely known public intellectuals of all time. Surveying the history of U.S. military and economic activity around the world, Chomsky and coauthor Nathan J. Robinson vividly trace the way the American pursuit of global domination has wrought havoc in country after country. Chomsky and Robinson offer penetrating accounts of Washington's relationship with the Global South, its role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan--all justified with noble stories about humanitarian missions and the benevolent intentions of American policymakers. The same myths that have led to repeated disastrous wars, they argue, are now imperiling humanity's future. Examining nuclear proliferation and climate change, they show how U.S. policies are continuing to exacerbate global threats. For well over half a century, Noam Chomsky has committed himself to exposing governing ideologies and criticizing his country's unchecked power. At once thorough and devastating, urgent and provocative, The Myth of American Idealism offers a highly readable entry to a lifetime of thought and activism.
