Masters of Mankind: Essays and Lectures, 1969-2013

Product Description

In this collection of essays from 1969-2013, many in book form for the first time, Noam Chomsky exposes the real nature of state power. With unrelenting logic, he holds the arguments of empire up to critical examination and shatters the myths of those who protect the power and privilege of the few against the interests and needs to the many.

With a foreword by Marcus Raskin contextualising Chomsky's place among some of the most influential thinkers of modern history.

'Considering that Chomsky's relevance has only grown with time, and that his positions prove less radical and more prescient as years pass, the timing of his new book release, The Masters of Mankind, a retrospective of lectures and essays stretching from 1969 to 2013, is perfect... There is more than enough profound, powerful material in this collection to impress any readers unfamiliar with Chomsky's intellectual agility.' The Daily Beast

'Chomsky is a global phenomenon . . . perhaps the most widely read voice on foreign policy on the planet.' New York Times Book Review
