Politics & Government

An Accessible Overview of Noam Chomsky's Political Thought. 
Chomsky feels the abuses, cruelty and hypocrisies of power more intensely than anyone I know. It's a state of continual alertness. Often, after I've glanced at a story in the paper and skipped rapidly over the familiar rubble of falsification, a week or two later will drop into my mailbox a photocopy of that same story marked up by Chomsky, with sentences underlined and a phrase or two in the margin etched deep into the paper by an angry pen. 
What Chomsky offers is a coherent "big picture," buttressed by the data of a thousand smaller pictures and discrete theaters of conflict, struggle and oppression.... For hundreds of thousands of people--over the years, he must have spoken to more American students than any person alive--Chomsky has offered the assurance, the intellectual and moral authority, that there is another way of looking at things. In this vital function he stands in the same relationship to his audience as did a philosopher he admires greatly, Bertrand Russell. 
-Alexander Cockburn, from his introduction "Excavating the Truth"

Letters from Lexington: Reflections on Propaganda

In a collection of letters written for Lies of Our Times  Magazine, Noam Chomsky outlines the role of the media in justifying  U.S. government and corporate actions. His examination of propaganda  is, as always, incisive. Letters from Lexington is an indispensable  antidote to TV "news" and the verities found in major daily newspapers  such as The New York Times.
