Book Reviews of The Umbrella of U.S. Power: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Contradictions of U.S. Policy (Open Media Series)

Book Review: Note: Rogue States contains this essay and much more.
Summary: 4 Stars

This is not so much a review as a note to buyers: you can obtain this exact essay by buying Chomsky's _Rogue States: The Rule of Force in World Affairs_. It's just a few dollars more than this pamphlet, yet it offers 13 *additional* essays. It doesn't fit quite as neatly into your back pocket, and it's a tad less digestable, but I think it's well worth the extra 2-3 dollars. That said, you can't go wrong with Chomsky--he's one of the greatest intellectuals and humanists of our time.
