Essays from Chomsky, I feel lack in depth of analisys compared to other collections. It seems a bit of a opportunistic title and timing for this very light release.

Chomsky’s most masterful political argumentation is around the Vietnam war.

Not much to say other than I zipped through this and Chomsky was being Chomksy which is to say accurate in his arguments about the United States.

Interesting read with the benefit of hindsight. Chomsky got a lot of things right very early on.

noam chomsky - de man heeft ontegenzeggelijk vaak een punt en is een ongelofelijk nuttige knaap, maar man wat een saai boek

An incredibly interesting political analysis of the political implications of the 9-11 attacks on an international level. In spite having been written a month after the attacks it is impressive to see Chomsky's foresight of the events which were to unfold in the course of the following decade, and all the complex implications of terrorism, be it state-sponsored or otherwise.

Thank goodness for Chomsky.

This book is based on a series of interviews, so it was sometimes an unsatisfactory read because of that. On the other hand, it was good to read in small bits and pieces over a long period of time, as I often do with non-fiction. Next, though, I want to read a properly referenced, book length piece of work by Chomsky.
