Book Reviews of Perilous Power: The Middle East & U.S. Foreign Policy: Dialogues on Terror, Democracy, War, and Justice

Book Review: Amazing as always
Summary: 5 Stars

It is a stunning book as always filled with Chomsky's subtle humour. It's interesting when Achar and Chomsky get into arguments, achar gives these long winded rebuttles, but chomsky shoots him down with single liners. I also found Chomsky's input to be far more interesting than Achar's
